Mexican churros

24 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Canola oil
1 cup Water
½ cup Margarine
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 cup All-purpose flour
3 Eggs
¼ cup Sugar
¼ teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Heat water, margarine and salt to rolling boil in 3-quart saucepan. Stir in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute. 2. Remove from heat. Beat in eggs all at once and continue beating until smooth. 3. Heat oil to 1-½ inch depth in heavy skillet to 360 degrees. 4. Spoon the dough into a decorator's tube with large star tip for authentic looking churros.

Squeeze 4-inch strips of dough into hot oil. Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning once; about 2 minutes on each side.

5. Drain. Mix sugar and cinnamon in brown paper bag. Shake the churros in the sugar mixture.
