Instructions
- 1
Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, whisk together the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 375°F (190°C).
- 2
Boil Liquids: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- 3
Form Dough: Reduce heat to low. Dump in the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball of dough that pulls away from the sides. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- 4
Add Eggs: Transfer the dough to a bowl. Beat in the eggs one at a time using a hand mixer. The dough will look separated at first but will come together into a thick, sticky paste.
- 5
Pipe and Fry: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Carefully pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, using scissors to snip the ends. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Coat and Serve: Remove the churros with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels. While still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve immediately, ideally with warm chocolate sauce.
