  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 20-25 churro bites

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For coating:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish; set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour until dough forms. Let cool slightly.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 1-inch strips or dollops onto the baking sheet. Alternatively, use a spoon to form small mounds.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Let cool slightly.
  6. While warm, roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
  • Ensure eggs are fresh for best results.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer for added crispiness.
