Introduction
These homemade churros are delightfully crispy on the outside, and incredibly light, soft, and fluffy on the inside. Coated in cinnamon sugar and served with a rich chocolate dipping sauce, they make for the ultimate sweet treat.
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Step 2
Weigh out exactly 1 cup (120 grams) of all-purpose flour into a small bowl and set aside.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the butter melts completely.
Step 4
As soon as the mixture boils, remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately dump in all the flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until it forms a cohesive paste.
Step 5
Return the saucepan to medium-high heat and cook the dough while stirring constantly and vigorously for about 30 seconds, until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a smooth ball.

Important Notes
Using a closed star tip is absolutely critical. It creates deep ridges that allow steam to escape so the churros expand evenly without popping or exploding in the hot oil.
Make sure the dough cools down in the mixer for at least 2 minutes before adding the eggs, otherwise the eggs will scramble.
Do not overcrowd the frying pot, as too many churros will drop the oil temperature and make them greasy.
Always coat the churros in cinnamon sugar while they are still hot so the sugar adheres properly.
