🛒 Ingredients (Makes 20–25 churros)

For the Churro Dough:

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 ½ tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

For Frying:

  • Vegetable oil (for deep frying)

For Coating:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Optional for Dipping:

  • Chocolate sauce, dulce de leche, or caramel

👨‍🍳 How to Make Mexican Churros

Step 1: Make the Dough

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, sugar, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil. Once the butter melts, remove from heat and stir in the flour until a dough forms. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. The dough should be smooth and thick.

🔧 Tip: Use a sturdy wooden spoon or a hand mixer with dough hooks to mix.

Step 2: Heat the Oil

In a deep pot, heat 2–3 inches of oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to maintain a consistent temperature for even frying.

Step 3: Pipe and Fry

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4–6 inch strips directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors.

Fry 3–4 churros at a time for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 4: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

While still warm, roll churros in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon until fully coated.

Step 5: Serve Warm

Serve immediately with melted chocolate, caramel sauce, or enjoy them plain.

🍫 Optional Chocolate Dipping Sauce

Melt together:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • Stir until smooth and glossy

🔁 Recipe Tips & Variations

  • For filled churros, use a piping tip to inject dulce de leche or Nutella
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or orange zest to the dough for extra flavor
  • Bake instead of fry for a lighter version (400°F for 18–22 minutes, then broil for crispness)
  • Use gluten-free flour to make them gluten-free

📦 Storage & Reheating Tips

  • Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for 1 day
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to crisp up
  • Avoid refrigerating as they lose texture

✅ Final Thoughts

These authentic Mexican churros bring the joy of street-style desserts right to your kitchen. Crunchy, sweet, and fun to dip, they’re a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth or love for traditional Latin desserts.
