Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ cup water
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Oil (for frying)
• ¼ cup sugar (for coating)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)

Directions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine the water, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
2. Heat the Oil: Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat. You’ll want the oil to reach about 350°F (175°C) for frying.
3. Fry the Snacks: Scoop small spoonfuls of dough and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the churro snacks are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. Coat in Cinnamon-Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. While the churro snacks are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well-coated.
5. Serve: Serve your churro snacks warm and enjoy them as a snack or dessert with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate!

Notes

• Consistency: The dough should be thick but not dry. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour; if it’s too dry, add a little more water.
• Make It Healthier: For a lighter version, try baking the churro snacks instead of frying them. Place the dough on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden.
• Dipping Sauces: These churro snacks are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with chocolate sauce, caramel, or dulce de leche for dipping.
• Storage: Store leftover churro snacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to restore some of their crispiness.

Churro Snacks are a fun and easy way to enjoy the flavors of churros without the hassle of frying long strips. They’re the perfect bite-sized treat for any occasion!
