Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 stick unsalted butter can be substituted with margarine for a dairy-free option
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar coconut sugar can be used for a more natural sweetness
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour opt for gluten-free flour if desired
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon mix with nutmeg for a unique twist
For Frying
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
For the Coating
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For Dipping
  • 1 jar Nutella warm it up for easier dipping

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Piping Bag
  • large star tip
  • candy thermometer
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by warming your Nutella to make it perfectly gooey for dipping. Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 20-30 seconds. Stir gently until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, salt, and granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once boiling, take it off the heat and stir in all-purpose flour until a smooth ball forms.
  4. Let your dough cool for about 5 minutes. After cooling, incorporate the beaten eggs into the mixture, one at a time.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, combine granulated sugar with ground cinnamon for the sweet coating.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Transfer the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips directly into the hot oil, cutting them off with scissors.
  8. Fry the churros for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
  9. Drain the churros on paper towels and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while still warm.
  10. Arrange the churro bites on a platter and serve alongside the warm Nutella for dipping.
