1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Oil for frying
Prepare the dough: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Shape the dough: While the dough is cooling, heat the oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat—enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the dough is cool enough to handle, use a cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
Fry the bites: Carefully drop the dough balls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Coat with cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. While the churro bites are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well-coated.
Serve and enjoy: Serve your cinnamon sugar churro bites warm with a side of chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping, if desired.
