Cube butter and add it to a pot with water and milk, along with a little salt and garlic powder.

Turn the heat to low and bring the mixture to a simmer until the butter melts.

Gradually sprinkle in all-purpose flour while stirring until it forms a mass of dough that pulls away from the sides of the pot.

Transfer the dough to a bowl and spread it around to cool down.

Scramble the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the dough in increments, mixing until smooth.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, using a jar to hold the bag upright.

Heat oil in a wide pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil and cut them off with a knife, frying until golden brown and floating.

Remove churros and drain on paper towels or a rack.

Mix grated parmesan cheese, dried parsley, and cayenne powder in a bowl for coating the churros and toss the churros in this mixture.

For the cheese dip, melt butter in a saucepan, add flour to make a roux, then whisk in milk and bring to a simmer.

Add shredded cheddar cheese to the roux and let it melt, seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
