Ingredients

2 cups canola oil

1 cup water

1/2 cup butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

1

Heat water, margarine and salt to rolling boil in 3-quart saucepan. Stir in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute.

2

Remove from heat. Beat in eggs all at once and continue beating until smooth.

3

Heat oil to 1-1/2 inch depth in heavy skillet to 360 degrees.

4

Spoon the dough into a decorator's tube with large star tip for authentic-looking churros. Squeeze 4-inch strips of dough into hot oil. Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning once; about 2 minutes on each side.

5

Drain. Mix sugar and cinnamon in brown paper bag. Shake the churros in the sugar mixture.
