Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Cinnamon Sugar 1/2 cup sugar + 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your deep fryer or a heavy pot with 2 quarts of oil. Add the cinnamon sugar to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, water, baking powder and salt. Add the 2 tablespoons of oil and mix together to form a ball
  • Put the dough in a pastry bag with a star or round tip (you can bypass the tip if you prefer.)
  • Pipe the dough out, around 6 inches at a time (you will need to cut or tear the dough to remove it from the bag). Carefully drop 3 or 4 churros into the hot oil and cook until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oil and immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture, tapping off any excess.
  • Serve with your favorite chocolate dipping sauce or plain.
