Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

Heat a wok and add canola oil for frying.

Cut 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter into small pieces and place in a saucepan.

Measure out 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of vanilla milk, adding both to the saucepan with the butter.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of espresso powder (optional) to the saucepan.

Place the saucepan on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously to avoid burning.

Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of bread flour until it resembles play-dough.

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and fold them into the dough using a spatula, then switch to an electric mixer for better mixing.

Transfer the churro batter to a piping bag fitted with a small cupcake tip, ensuring there are no air bubbles.

Freeze the churro batter for a while before frying.

Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).

Pipe the churro dough into the hot oil, cutting to desired lengths, and fry until golden brown, approximately 90 seconds, adjusting for temperature.

Remove churros and place them on a wire rack to cool for about 30 seconds.

Toss the warm churros in cinnamon sugar to coat.
