churros

ngredients: 1 cup water 2 tablespoons white sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 quarts vegetable oil (for frying) 1/2 cup white sugar (for coating) 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating) Instructions: In a medium saucepan, combine water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a smooth dough. Heat the 2 quarts of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot to 375°F (190°C). Make sure the oil is enough for frying. Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip nozzle. Carefully pipe 4 to 6-inch strips of dough into the oil. Use scissors or a knife to cut the dough from the piping bag. Fry the churros until they become golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Once fried, remove the churros from the oil and drain the excess oil on a plate lined with paper towels. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of white sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are evenly coated. Serve the churros immediately and enjoy the delicious crispy treats!
