Churros - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. flour
1/8 tsp. salt
approximately 3 c. cooking oil (for frying)
1 c. water
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 eggs
sifted confectioners sugar (if desired)
5 Tbsp. butter or margarine

Preparation

Sift together the flour and cinnamon.
Heat oil (1 inch in depth) in large, heavy skillet to medium-high heat (375\u00b0).
In a medium heavy saucepan, bring water to a boil over high heat.
Add butter and salt, allowing butter to melt.
Remove from heat.
Add dry ingredients, mixing well with a whisk.
Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well.
Spoon into pastry or piping bag, fitted with star shaped tip.
Squeeze batter in a straight line into hot oil, making each Churro about 6 inches in length.
Fry until Churros are golden brown, about 3 minutes, turning occasionally.
Drain well on paper towels; sift confectioners sugar over Churros. Serve warm.
These are also sweet and delicious with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.
Enjoy!
