📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whisk
2
In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together ½ cup sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon. Set aside.
3
Combine water, milk, vanilla, butter, salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, and ¼ tsp cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Let the mixture melt and come to a rolling boil, stirring frequently. Then, reduce the heat all the way down to low.

4
Add in flour and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until incorporated and the mixture forms a thick, smooth ball and appears to dry out (a thin film will form on the bottom of the pan), about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes.
5
Transfer
6
Immediately transfer dough to a large bowl and beat on medium speed with a hand mixer for ⏱️ 2 minutes to cool the mixture slightly. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until fully combined. It should appear smooth and creamy.
7
Spoon dough into a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip (I used an Ateco 829.)
8
Add 2 inches of oil to a large skillet (or pot) and heat until a temperature of 360℉ is reached. (Keep the oil between 350-370℉ while frying.)
9
Pipe
10
Holding the tip close to the oil to prevent splashing, carefully pipe 3-inch strips of dough over the skillet, cutting the end with kitchen scissors, and drop into the hot oil. Repeat until churro bites fill skillet without over-crowding. (I wouldn't do more than 5 at a time to keep the oil temperature from dropping too much.)
11
Fry churro bites until golden brown, about 1½ minutes per side, turning with tongs, as necessary.
12
Transfer churros to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain for about ⏱️ 15 seconds. Then toss to coat in the cinnamon-sugar.
13
Repeat with the remaining dough, making sure the oil returns to 360℉ for each batch.
14
Enjoy immediately as is or with some chocolate dipping sauce!
