Make some homemade Churro Bites with this delicious and easy Churro Recipe. A great snack and perfect for Cinco de Mayo celebrations!
Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat to about 360 degrees.
In a medium saucepan combine milk, water, butter, 2 tsp sugar, and salt and bring mixture to a boil.
Once it boils, remove it from heat and immediately stir in vanilla and flour.
Mix it well so that the dough is nice and smooth.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip (if you have one…I did not) and carefully pipe about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of dough out over oil.
Using clean scissors, (or the edge of the pan) cut dough into small pieces and let it drop into the hot oil. Only add a few in the pan at a time so they don’t stick together.
Allow churros to fry until golden brown. You may need to stir them occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
When golden brown, remove them from the oil and place them on some paper towels to drain any excess oil.
In a plastic bag mix the sugar and cinnamon. Toss warm, drained churros into sugar mixture to evenly coat.
For best results serve warm.
