    Things To Grab

      Directions

      1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt. Bring to boiling over medium heat.
      2. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon. Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat. Cool for 10 minutes.
      3. Add egg and vanilla, beating well with a wooden spoon.
      4. Transfer mixture to a decorating bag fitted with a large star tip.
      5. Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep saucepan to 375 degrees.
      6. Pipe 4-inch logs directly into the oil. Fry a few logs at a time in hot oil about 2 minutes or until golden brown on all sides, turning if needed. Drain on paper towels.
      7. Transfer mixture to a decorating bag fitted with a large star tip.
      8. Keep warm in a 300-degree oven while frying remaining churros.
      9. In a medium bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll warm churros in cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat. Serve warm.
