Homemade Churros

Ingredients

1 cup water
2 T brown sugar
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1/3 cup butter, unsalted
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat 2 inches worth of oil to 375°F in a large frying pan. On a plate, mix the 1/4 cup sugar with the 1 tsp cinnamon and set aside.
2. In a 3 quart saucepan add the water, brown sugar, salt, and butter mixture together. Heat until a vigorous boil. Remove from heat and add the flour. Mix thoroughly.
3. In a bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla together and then add into the flour mixture until well-combined.
4. Using a frosting decorating tool with a large star attachment, proceed to squeeze dough into the oil. You can test if the oil is ready with a frying/candy thermometer or dropping a test piece of dough in. If ready, the dough will bubble and sizzle right away.
5. Let each side of the dough cook for about 1 minute each. Remove from the oil and place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
6. Roll into cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.
