Churro Snacks


  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Optional Toppings:

  • Chocolate sauce
  • Caramel sauce
  • Whipped cream

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Dough

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, salt, and butter. Heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the flour until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Return the pan to low heat and cook the dough, stirring constantly, for 1–2 minutes, until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.
  4. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
  5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the dough is smooth and glossy.

2. Fry the Snacks

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) on a thermometer.
  2. Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a plastic bag with the corner snipped) to pipe small pieces of dough directly into the hot oil. Use scissors or a knife to cut the dough into bite-sized pieces as you pipe.
  3. Fry the snacks in batches for 2–3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried snacks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

3. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

  1. In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  2. Toss the warm fried snacks in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.

4. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Arrange the Churro Snacks on a plate and serve warm.
  2. Optional: Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce, or serve with whipped cream for dipping.
  3. Enjoy every bite of these crispy, sweet, and indulgent Churro Snacks!
  4. Perfect as a standalone treat or paired with coffee, tea, or hot chocolate for a cozy snack.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: High-quality cinnamon makes a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Switch Shapes: Pipe the dough into sticks, twists, or rings for variety.
  • Add Mix-Ins: Stir in mini chocolate chips or sprinkles into the dough for added flair.
  • Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to restore crispiness.
