Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

In a small saucepan, add 1 cup milk and 1/4 cup butter.

Allow the butter to melt and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, turn down the flame and add 1 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt; mix until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides.

Transfer the dough into a bowl and allow it to cool slightly for around 5 minutes.

Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated before adding the next egg; continue until the dough is smooth.

Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip, or roll it into a thin log if not using a piping bag.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to the appropriate frying temperature.

Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting with scissors to the desired length.

Fry the churros on both sides until golden, about 2 minutes, depending on desired crispiness.

Remove churros and toss them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar while still hot.
