Churros
1 cup water1/2 t salt
1 T sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
4 eggs
Oil for frying
Cinnamon sugar to sprinkle over
Place the water, salt, sugar and butter in heavy saucepan. Heat slowly until
butter melts, then bring to a full boil.
Add flour all at once, and beat vigorously until mixture is thick and smooth.
Continue beating over medium heat for about 2 minutes, then remove.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition until mixture
is smooth. A handheld mixer is useful.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy vessel. Heat it to 390 F.
Scoop mixture into a large pastry bag with a large star tip and fold down top
of bag to seal. Squeeze bag over hot oil, pushing out a rope of paste 4 to 5
inches long. Cut with a knife, letting rope fall gently into oil. Rapidly
form about 6 more Churros the same way. Turn them frequently until golden,
about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Cook all the remaining dough the same way and while the Churros are still
warm sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
Makes 3 to 4 dozen 4-5 inch Churros.
