butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

In a saucepan, combine butter, flour, milk, water, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a semi boil over medium heat.

Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and allow to cool slightly, then add the eggs. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a dough ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to about 375°F (190°C).

Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, using kitchen scissors to cut the dough from the piping bag. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry the churros until golden brown and crisp, about 2-4 minutes per side, flipping halfway through.

Transfer the fried churros to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

In a shallow dish, mix together the remaining sugar and ground cinnamon.

While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Serve the churros immediately while they're still warm and crispy.
