Churros

Sorry for not posting in a while. Google would not let me sign out of another account so that I could sign into this account to post. It was driving me crazy. Then suddenly today it let me through. I don't know what changed, but while I am here, enjoy this amazing recipe. It's pretty easy and my kids ate them in one sitting. These were almost as good as Disneyland Churros! Almost :)

Churros
1 cup water
2 Tbl brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter
1 cup flour
3 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Heat at least 1 inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. While you are waiting for the oil to heat, combine cinnamon and sugar in a pie plate. Mix together and then set aside.
Combine water, brown sugar, salt and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the contents are combined and boiling gently.
Remove the pan from heat and add the flour. Stir quickly with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a stiff ball. Add the eggs to the dough one at a time. Fully incorporate each egg before adding the next one. The dough will be slimy at first, but keep stirring. Add the vanilla extract at the same time as the final egg.
Scoop the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. I used the Wilton 1M tip.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before you start cooking. You can test the temperature by placing the end of the wooden spoon handle into the oil. If it starts to bubble, go ahead and begin to fry your churros. No bubbles? Wait a little longer and try again.
Squeeze the batter into the hot oil. You want them to be about 4 inches long. Do not over crowd the pan. I cooked 4 at a time in my regular sized skillet. Cook about 2 minutes on each side or until light golden brown. Only turn once.
Once the churros are cooked, remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain and cool for a minute. Then while still warm, roll in cinnamon sugar mixture and devour!
