Things To Grab
Directions
Heat oil for frying in a 4-quart heavy saucepan or deep-fat fryer to 350 degrees.
Combine water, pumpkin, butter, 1 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon vanilla in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring mixture to boiling. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until dough forms a ball. Remove from heat. Cool mixture for 10 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
Spoon dough into a pastry or large resealable bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 3-inch lengths of dough, 5 at a time, into hot oil. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Combine sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. While warm, toss churros in sugar mixture. Serve with chocolate sauce.
