Instructions
Bring water, butter, sugar, and salt to a boil. Remove from heat and add flour all at once. Stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Let cool for 2 minutes, then beat in eggs one at a time and vanilla until smooth. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Tip: The star tip is essential. It creates the ridges that make churros crispy. A round tip won't give you the same texture.
Heat oil to 375F. Pipe 6-inch lengths of dough directly into the oil, cutting with scissors. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
Drain on paper towels for 30 seconds, then toss immediately in cinnamon sugar. Serve warm with chocolate dipping sauce.
