Churros
Churros (Mexican fritters) are very common at fairs. In my border hometown, the line at this stand is always overwhelming.
People wait hours in line just to get a taste of these churros. I have run across several recipes but this is the best one by far.

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 20 mins

Ingredients
1 cup water

2 ½ tablespoons white sugar

½ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 quarts oil for frying

½ cup white sugar, or to taste

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions
Step 1
Combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a small saucepan and place over medium heat.
Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Stir in flour, stirring until mixture forms a ball.

Step 2
Heat oil for frying in a deep fryer or deep pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 3
Transfer the dough to a sturdy pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Carefully pipe a few 5- to 6-inch strips of dough into the
hot oil; work in batches so you don't crowd the fryer. Cook until golden; use a spider or slotted spoon to transfer churros to
paper towels to drain.

Step 4
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Editor's Notes:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount
may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
