Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup water Forms the essential base of the dough for perfect texture.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter Adds richness; switch to salted butter and reduce salt to 1/8 teaspoon if needed.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Enhances flavor; cut back if using salted butter as a substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar Sweetens the dough beautifully; consider coconut sugar for a delightful twist.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Gives structure; use gluten-free flour to make Nutty Churro Bites with Nutella accessible for everyone.
  • 2 large eggs Provide moisture and binding; add each egg one at a time to prevent overmixing.
For Frying
For the Coating
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Adds a warm, aromatic flavor; swap for pumpkin spice for a seasonal treat.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar For rolling churros; it complements the cinnamon to create a heavenly crunch.
For Dipping

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Piping Bag
  • deep fryer or heavy pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, ½ cup unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in 1 cup all-purpose flour until smooth. Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes until it's warm but manageable.
  2. Add 2 large eggs to the slightly cooled dough one at a time, mixing vigorously after each addition until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
  3. While the dough is resting, prepare your coating by combining ½ cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Mix well to combine evenly.
  4. In a deep fryer or heavy pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature for frying.
  5. Carefully pipe 4-6 inch pieces of the dough into the hot oil using a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Fry the churro bites in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and puffed.
  6. Immediately roll the warm churro bites in your prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them evenly.
