Easy Churros Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Cinnamon sugar (for coating)
• 1/2 cup dulce de leche

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).

8. Remove churros from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
9. Immediately toss the hot churros in cinnamon sugar.
