INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup flour
• 4 eggs
• Oil for frying
• For Cinnamon Sugar:
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

• Place water, salt, sugar, and butter in a heavy saucepan. Heat slowly until butter melts, then bring to a full boil. Add flour all at once, and beat furiously until the mixture is thick and smooth. Continue beating over medium heat for about 2 minutes, then remove. Add eggs, one at a time, beating vigorously after each until mixture is smooth. (A hand-held electric beater is useful.) Heat about 2 inches of oil to 390° F.
• Scoop mixture into a large pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip and fold down top of the bag to seal. Squeeze bag over the hot oil, pushing out a rope of paste 4 to 5 inches long. Cut with a knife, letting rope fall gently into oil. Rapidly form about 6 more churros the same way. Turn them frequently until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Fry remaining paste the same way, and while churros are still warm, toss them in Cinnamon Sugar.
