Churros

So my Dad sent me a bunch of recipes *all Mexican* from my great grandma Louisa! I was so excited to dig through them and have her own recipes.  But the minute i ran across this i knew i had to make my own because no one can resist a Churro! You have to try it 

Ingredients

• Corn, grapeseed, canola or other neutral oil for frying
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup or 1 stick butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs

Method

• 1. Add enough oil to a large saucepan or deep skillet to come to a depth of at least 2 inches; heat to about 350 degrees. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon together on a large plate.
• 2. Combine remaining sugar, butter, salt and 1 cup water in a saucepan over high heat, and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, and add flour, all at once. Stir constantly until mixture forms a ball, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat, and beat eggs one at a time into mixture, stirring until smooth after each addition.
• 3. Spoon dough into a pastry bag with a large star tip (or simply drop spoons full of batter into oil). Press strips of dough about 4 inches long into hot oil. Cook as many as will fit comfortably at once, turning as they brown, 5 to 10 minutes each.
• 4. Remove churros from oil, and drain on paper towels, then immediately roll them in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve hot or warm.
