Churro Bites

Recipe originally on The Vegas Mom

I'm obsessed with churros. I'm sure lots of people are; however, in the current climate, I can't go anywhere to get them. I always wanted to make churros, but I don't have the right piping tip. I decided I'd try to make churro bites instead. Honestly, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It is something you need to be on top of. Don't walk away if you're making these churro bites.

Ingredients

• 2/3 c Flour
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 c Water
• 3 tsp Sugar
• 1 Egg
• Oil for frying
• Cinnamon for coating
• Sugar for coating

Instructions

1. Bring the water, butter, and sugar to a boil.
2. Add flour, mix vigorously until completely blended together.
3. Remove from heat; let cool around 10 minutes.
4. Add egg, mix as quickly as possible to prevent the egg from scrambling. It will take a bit before the dough comes together.
5. Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
6. Fill a piping bag (with a star tip) with the dough. (I use small batches at a time.)
7. Pipe dough into oil and cut to desired size. (I used kitchen scissors, but you can also use a fork.)
8. They are ready when they are a nice golden brown color.
9. Remove excess oil with a paper towel.
10. Roll in cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.
11. Enjoy!
