Churro






Ingridients:

235 ml water
110 g margarine
125 g all-purpose flour
2 g salt
3 eggs
50 g white sugar
6 g ground cinnamon

To make churro dough, heat water, margarine and salt to rolling boil in 3-quart saucepan; stir in flour.Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute; remove from heat.Beat eggs all at once; continue beating until smooth and then add to saucepan while stirring mixture.Spoon mixture into cake decorators' tube with large star tip (like the kind use to decorate cakes).Squeeze 4-inch strips of dough into hot oil.Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning once, about 2 minutes on each side; drain on paper towels.(Mix sugar and the optional cinnamon); roll churros in sugar or dump the sugar on the pile of churros.Note: REAL churros are made without cinnamon mixed with the sugar, but the cinnamon adds an extra nice flavor.
