Ingredients

For the Churro Bites:

• 1 cup (240 ml) water

• 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter

• 1 tablespoon (15 g) granulated sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt

• 1 cup (120 g) all purpose flour

• 4 large eggs

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

• 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar

• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, granulated sugar, and salt.

   • Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.

   • Remove from heat and stir in the all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a smooth dough.

3. Incorporate the Eggs:

   • Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes.

   • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

4. Pipe the Dough:

   • Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

   • Pipe 1-inch long churro bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

5. Bake the Churro Bites:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the churro bites are golden brown and puffed up.

6. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

   • While the churro bites are baking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

7. Coat the Churro Bites:

   • Once the churro bites are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 3–5 minutes.

   • While still warm, roll each churro bite in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

8. Serve:

   • Serve the churro bites warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce like warm chocolate or caramel.
