Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
Make With
Gold Medal Flour

Steps

  • 1
    In 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven or deep saucepan, heat oil (1 1/2 inches) to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper; spray with cooking spray. Line heatproof plate or tray with paper towels.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  • 3
    In 3-quart saucepan, heat water and butter to rolling boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; stir in flour and salt. Stir vigorously 30 to 60 seconds, until mixture forms a ball.
  • 4
    Transfer dough to medium bowl; let stand 5 minutes, then stir in egg with rubber spatula until smooth and glossy. Mixture will be sticky.
  • 5
    Spoon mixture into pastry bag fitted with star tip 845 or 846. Onto cookie sheet, squeeze dough into 4-inch strips. Working in batches, gently lower dough strips into hot oil. Cook, turning frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, until deep golden brown. Drain churros on paper towel-lined plate. Gently coat churros in cinnamon sugar mixture while hot.
  • 6
    Repeat frying, draining and coating remaining dough strips. Discard remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you don’t have pastry tips, you can still make churros! Instead of using a pastry bag, place the dough in gallon-size resealable food-storage bag. Cut 1/2-inch from one corner of the bag. Squeeze bag to form strips as directed in Step 3.
  • tip 2
    Churros with Chile-Chocolate Sauce: In small microwavable bowl, mix 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper. Microwave uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 minute; stir. Continue to microwave in 10-second increments until mixture can be stirred smooth. Serve with churros.
