Churros

• Olive, corn, or grapeseed oil for frying
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup flour
• 3 eggs

1. Put at least 2 inches of oil into a large saucepan or deep skillet and heat to about 350F.
2. Mix the cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar together on a large plate.
3. Combine the remaining sugar, butter, salt, and 1 cup water in a saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.
4. Turn the heat to low and add the flour all at once.
5. Stir constantly until the mixture forms a ball, about 30 seconds.
6. Remove from the heat and beat in the eggs one at a time, stirring until smooth after each addition.
7. Spoon the dough into a pastry bag with a large star tip (or you can simply drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil).
8. Press strips of dough about 4 inches long into the hot oil.
9. Cook as many as will fit comfortably at once, turning as they brown, for a total of 5 to 10 minutes each.
10. Remove the churros from the oil and drain them on paper towels, then immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
11. Serve hot or at least warm.
