1 cup 1 cup water
8 tablespoons 8 tablespoons butter
0.25 teaspoon ¼ teaspoon salt
0.75 teaspoon ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided into ¼ teaspoon and ½ teaspoon) Divided into two portions for use at different stages
1.25 cups 1¼ cups all-purpose flour All-purpose flour works best; gluten-free flour can be used with adjustments.
3 pieces 3 eggs
1.5 cups 1½ cups vegetable oil (or canola oil) For frying
0.5 cup ½ cup sugar For coating the churros

In a 1½-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, butter, salt, and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball.
Remove the mixture from heat and let it rest for about 5 to 7 minutes.
After resting, beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

In a medium skillet or a 1-quart saucepan, carefully heat the oil to 350°F over medium-high heat.
Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 1-inch strips of dough over the oil, cutting them with a knife as you go.
Fry the churro bites until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain excess oil on paper towels.

In a medium bowl, mix the sugar and the remaining ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss the churro bites in this mixture until nicely coated.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like chocolate or caramel.

Best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for a day. To revive soft churros, reheat them in the oven at a low temperature.
