Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil
- 0.5 cup Sugar for coating
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon for coating
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
Stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball; let the dough rest for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Carefully pipe 1-inch sections of dough directly into the hot oil, use scissors to cut off each piece.
Fry several mini churros at a time until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for coating.
While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
Serve immediately with your favorite dairy-free chocolate sauce or as is.
