In a deep frying pan filled with 3/4 inch of vegetable oil, fry churros, a few at a time, for about 3 to 4 minutes or until a deep golden brown, turning once. Remove from oil using a slotted to; drain on paper towels.

Combine 4 tablespoons sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a clean brown paper bag. Toss churros in the cinnamon mixture to coat well.

These were perfect in every way except for I didn't freeze them and did not use the biggest star tip. You can use any shape you like. And as well I don't have a big fancy mixer I used a hand mixer right in the 2 QT. pan. It's just like making Creme puffs or Eclairs it uses the Pate Choix dough, so it can be made to fit any type of tip and no fancy equipment. The sugar to Cinnamon ratio coating was just right on the Churros.One correction though, the author of this recipe left off how much sugar to put in the original dough, I added 2 tablespoons, which tasted perfect.

Just made these this morning for to take to my oldest son's birthday party. Unfortunately, my son, who lives at home started eating them, so I had to make another batch. Great recipe. it's a keeper.

I tried freezing them and had to keep the pan in the freezer for almost an hour to peel them off. Just drop them in the oil right from the bag. Other than that the recipe was perfect...and this is one of my kids favorite snacks so I have tried alot. This is the one I will be using from now on...Thanks!!!

Very good! I added about 1 tsp of vanilla extract to add a little bit more flavor and I think that was the finishing touch. The dough was very light and this recipe was very simple but tasteful. I will most defiantly be using this recipe again! :) the 20 min in the freezer was perfect, but if I have an extra comment to add, it would be that if you have two pans in the freezer, leave the second on in there while you are deep frying the first! the 20 min in the freezer, in my opinion was very helpful.

I've never made them but will! I first ate them in Columbia restaurant, Clearwater, FL. They were served with quava, caramel and hot dark chocolate sauces for dipping! Wow, what a way to finish off those goodies! I will make them and use the sauces and serve to company.

Super like good and stuff and I ate it up quickly. Made for family who are good and they liked to eat it and dip it in melted nutel...that chocolate stuff. Anywho I would suggest frying them before eating them because they are bad when you don't. Just a heads up. Anyway that's all eh. bye
