Churros, those delightful fried pastries rolled in sugar and cinnamon, have long been cherished in various cultures around the globe. Originating from Spain, they have made their way into the hearts (and stomachs) of many, evolving into a beloved snack in countries like Mexico, where they are often enjoyed with a side of rich chocolate sauce for dipping. The traditional churro is a long, tubular shape, but in recent years, the bite-sized version, known as churro bites, has become increasingly popular. These fun, smaller treats allow for easy sharing and are perfect for satisfying a sweet craving without the guilt of indulging in a full-sized dessert.

Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup water

1/4 cup unsalted butter

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring until the butter melts.

    Once boiling, remove from heat and add the flour and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

      Let the dough cool for about 10 minutes, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

        Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

          Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe small bite-sized pieces of dough (about 1-2 inches long) into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

            Remove churro bites with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on paper towels.

              In a shallow bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon. While churro bites are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.

                Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Sugar Churro Bites!
