Ingredients
Water – 1 cup (250ml)
Unsalted butter, diced into small cubes – 1/4 cup (56g)

1/2 cup (100g) powdered sugar

- To prepare churros, combine water, butter, and sugar in a big skillet over medium heat. adding vanilla after bringing to a boil. Add flour and salt after turning the heat off. Stir with a wooden spoon for 30 seconds or until thickened. Give the mixture 10 minutes to cool.
- Using a hand mixer, whip each egg into the cooled mixture until incorporated. Mixture should be transferred to a piping bag with a big open star tip.
- Pipe the mixture into the heated oil in lengths of about 6 inches, cutting the ends with a pair of clean scissors.
- Fry for around two minutes per side, or until golden brown. After gently drying on paper towels, transfer to the powdered sugar mixture and roll to coat.
