Ingredients
  

Churro Dough
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Ensure it's halāl-certified
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 pieces eggs
For Frying and Coating
  • Oil Oil for frying
  • to taste cinnamon sugar For coating churros

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat and stir in the flour. Mix until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat.
  3. Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
Frying
  1. In a deep fryer or large pot, heat enough oil for frying until hot.
  2. Using a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle, fill it with the churro dough. Carefully pipe strips of dough (about 6 inches) into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors.
  3. Fry the churros until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  4. Remove them with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll them in cinnamon sugar.
Serving
  1. Serve the churros fresh with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.

Notes

Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying to prevent soggy churros. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in an oven to maintain crispness.
