### 👨‍🍳 How to Make Sweet and Salty Churro Bites

**1. Make the dough:**
In a saucepan, bring water, sugar, salt, and butter to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the flour until a dough forms. Return to low heat and stir for 1–2 minutes to dry the dough slightly.

Transfer to a bowl and let cool for a few minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.

**2. Heat the oil:**
Fill a pot or deep pan with about 2 inches of oil. Heat to 350°F (175°C).

**3. Fry the bites:**
Spoon the dough into a piping bag (or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped). Pipe small 1-inch portions directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors or a knife. Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

**4. Toss in coating:**
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Toss warm churro bites in the mixture while still hot, then sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.

### 💡 Pro Tips:

* Want them extra crispy? Let the dough dry slightly before frying.
* Don’t overcrowd the pan — it cools the oil and makes the bites greasy.
* For a dipping sauce, serve with warm chocolate ganache, dulce de leche, or salted caramel.
