Cook Time: 2 minutes

Yield: 10 Churros

Ingredients:

  • Vegetable oil, for deep frying
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons sugar*
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 orange, zested
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg*
  • 4 eggs
  • Directions:

    Fill a deep-fryer or large Dutch oven halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F.

    Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a large shallow bowl, set aside.

    Combine the butter, water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

    Once it has come to a boil, lower to a medium heat and add the flour, orange zest and nutmeg, stirring constantly until it comes away from the pan and it forms a ball.

    Transfer dough to a bowl and use an electric mixer to help cool it off.

    At this point you can whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time, until it becomes a smooth batter.

    Transfer the mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

    Working in batches, carefully pipe 4-inch long ribbons directly into the hot oil to fry.

    Fry until golden, turning if necessary, about 2 to 3 minutes.

    Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.

    Transfer the churros into the sugar/cinnamon mixture and toss to coat.

    Serve immediately while still warm.
