flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds more fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

Place water, butter, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon sugar, and a pinch of salt into a medium-large saucepan. Bring to a boil.

Add plain flour and mix vigorously until well blended (the dough will come together in a minute or two).

Remove from the stove and let it cool a bit. Once it is not too hot, add one egg and work the egg into the dough. Start slowly breaking the egg, then fast increasing speed, if possible. When the egg is incorporated in the dough, add another one and repeat the process. You should get dough that is not too stiff but not too soft either.

Pour the vegetable/sunflower oil into a medium-sized saucepan and heat it up.

Fill a piping bag (or a zip-lock bag) fitted with a star piping tip with half of the dough (it is easier to handle).

Check if the oil is ready for frying by dropping a tiny piece of the dough in. Once the dough turns nice brown, you are ready to pipe the churros in.

Pipe the dough directly into the hot oil (choose any length you like) and cut with a fork. Do not pipe too many churros in as they need space for frying. It will take only about 2 minutes for them to get nice golden color and that is a sign they are ready. They should get the color gradually. If you see they are not getting dark evenly, reduce the temperature.

Take them out and place them on a paper kitchen towel to get rid of the excess oil.

When they are still warm, roll each of them in a sugar mixed with ground cinnamon.

Serve warm with thick hot chocolate.
