Recipe View 5 mins Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (such as a Wilton #8B). Pipe 3- to 4-inch ropes of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart. Use the back of a knife or a wet finger to cleanly cut the dough at the end of each piping.

Recipe View 20 mins Bake in the preheated oven until the churros are puffed and golden brown, (20-25 minutes). Turn off the oven and open the door slightly to vent heat (10 seconds). Close the door, leaving it ajar by a few inches, and let the churros rest in the oven to crisp up further (10 minutes).

Recipe View 5 mins While the churros are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture by combining granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow dish or bag.

Recipe View 2 mins Remove the baked churros from the oven. Working in batches of 6, brush lightly with melted butter and toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly. Serve immediately.

For best results, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching.
Ensure the dough is not too hot when adding the eggs to avoid cooking them.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with a corner cut off.
The water spray is crucial for achieving the signature crispy churro texture.
These churros are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a warm oven to restore crispness.

    The water spray trick is genius! My churros were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    These were so easy to make, and they tasted amazing! My kids loved them.

    Next time, I might try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture for a little extra flavor.
