🔥 Fun Fact: Churros are at their best while they are still warm enough for the cinnamon sugar to cling to every ridge.

For the Churro Dough
1 cup water
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp bourbon vanilla sugar, or additional granulated sugar
1 cup plus 7 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
Neutral oil, for frying

For the Cinnamon Sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla bean powder, optional

For Serving
Nutella

1️⃣ Start the base
Add the water, butter, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and vanilla extract to a saucepan.

2️⃣ Bring it to a boil
Heat over medium until the butter has melted and the mixture reaches a boil.

3️⃣ Add the flour
Turn off the heat and stir in all of the flour at once.

4️⃣ Work the dough
Mix firmly with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

5️⃣ Let it cool
Transfer the dough to a large bowl and cool for about 10 minutes. It should feel warm, not hot, so the eggs do not scramble.

6️⃣ Add the eggs
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. The finished dough should be thick, smooth, and pipeable.

7️⃣ Heat the oil
Pour the frying oil into a deep, heavy pan and heat it to 350°F.

8️⃣ Pipe the churros
Fit a piping bag with a large star tip. Carefully pipe strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting each strip to the desired length.

9️⃣ Fry until crisp
Work in batches and turn the churros occasionally until they are deeply golden and crisp.

🔟 Coat while warm
Drain the churros on paper towels for about 1 minute, then toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while they are still warm.

1️⃣1️⃣ Serve immediately
Bring out the Nutella and accept that the first batch may disappear before the second one finishes frying.

Taco Tuesday Tip: Keep the oil close to 350°F. Oil that is too cool creates greasy churros; oil that is too hot browns the outside before the center cooks.
