flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Add 1.5 cups of water into a pot and add 1 stick of butter.

Put the pot on the stove until the butter melts and the water begins to boil.

Once boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar, mixing until combined.

Add 1 cup of flour to the pot and turn off the flame, stirring to combine.

Turn the flame back on and stir for about 30 seconds to cook the flour slightly.

Remove from heat and let the dough cool for about 5 minutes.

While the dough is cooling, heat oil in a pan for frying the churros.

Add 3 eggs to the dough one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is homogeneous.

Stir in 1 cup of grated spicy cheese until evenly distributed.

Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with the churro batter.

Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, frying until golden brown.

Remove churros from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
