Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional for coating)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt until melted.
- Stir in flour until a dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from heat; let cool slightly before mixing in eggs one at a time until smooth and glossy.
- Pipe heart shapes onto parchment paper using a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to about 350°F. Test readiness by dropping in a small piece of dough—if it sizzles, it's ready.
- Fry churros in batches until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side), then drain on paper towels.
- While warm, roll churros in cinnamon sugar and serve immediately with chocolate sauce or caramel.
