👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the dough (pâte à choux-style):
In a medium saucepan, bring water, butter, sugar, and salt to a boil. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a smooth ball.
2. Add the eggs:
Let the dough cool slightly. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. The dough should become smooth and glossy. (If it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of water.)
3. Heat the oil:
In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil to 170–180°C (340–355°F). Test with a small piece of dough — it should sizzle and float when ready.
4. Pipe the churros:
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors or a knife. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.
5. Drain and coat:
Remove churros with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels. While still warm, roll in the cinnamon sugar mix.
6. Optional chocolate sauce:
Heat the cream, pour it over chopped chocolate, and stir until smooth. Dip and enjoy!

💡 Chef’s Tips from Cyril Lignac
- Let the dough cool before adding eggs to avoid scrambling them.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — it lowers the oil temperature.
- Add orange zest or vanilla to the dough for an aromatic twist.
