Churrus

Churrus from Leon and Linda
Ingredients
2 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Some cinnamon powder and sugar to make cinnamon sugar
1 cup of water (use a cooking measuring cup)
1 cup of all purpose flour

1. Combine oil, sugar, salt and water in a small saucepan and bring to boil on a stove.
2. Remove saucepan from heat once boiling and add in flour.
3. Stir vigorously until you make a dough ball.  Let the ball cool.
4. Stuff the dough ball into a churrera or pastry bag fitted with a 3/8 inch star tip.  I don't know what that is.  Anyway, all you need is something to punch out the dough through a star-shape nozzle.
5. Heat frying oil in a pan.  You need about 1.5inch to 2inches of oil in the pan, and make sure it's at least 8inches in diameter.
6. When oil is very hot, pipe in a strip of dough about 5 inches long. Pinch it off your churrera or piping bag.  We tried cutting it with a butter knife but it was more efficient with fingers.
9. Once your dough turns into churros, pick them out from the oil and set on kitchen towels to drain off some oil.
10. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and serve with chocolate dip or drink.
