for frying

2. Once temperature has been reached - pipe 3 to 5 inchs of dough over the oil - and cut.

3. Fry them until lightly golden, flipping often so they get color on all sides.

4. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon or strainer - and place on a tray lined with paper towels to drain excess oil

5. While the churros are still hot (but touchable) transfer them to the bowl of cinnamon sugar & coat

6. Serve with chocolate sauce, dulce de leche or whatever else you like!
