Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • oil, for deep fry
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grounded cinnamon or 1 teaspoon green tea powder

Method

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
  • Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet. Pipe strips of dough into hot oil using a pastry bag. Be warned, a lot of pressure needed to pipe out, my disposable piping bag actually burst halfway piping it. Hence use a silicone piping bag. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
  • Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon/ green tea. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture while its hot.
