Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs

Filling

  • Nutella (amount as needed for stuffing, about 1/2 cup)

Frying & Coating

  • Vegetable oil (for frying, enough to fill deep pan)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine water, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer until the butter melts completely. Remove from heat and stir in all the flour at once, mixing vigorously until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the pan sides.
  2. Incorporate the Eggs: Let the dough cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough becomes glossy and smooth.
  3. Fill a Piping Bag: Fit a large star tip to a piping bag and fill it halfway with dough. In a separate piping bag with a narrow tip, spoon in Nutella for stuffing.
  4. Pipe and Stuff the Churros: Pipe 4-6 inch lengths of dough onto parchment paper. Pipe a small line or dot of Nutella onto each churro strip, then gently fold or pinch the dough to seal the filling inside.
  5. Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry churros in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Drain churros on paper towels, then toss while warm in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon to coat evenly.

Notes

  • Maintain oil at steady 350°F for even cooking and optimal crispiness.
  • Pinch dough tightly around Nutella to prevent leaking during frying.
  • Pipe churros uniformly for consistent frying and results.
  • Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding and soggy texture.
  • Serve churros fresh for best flavor and texture.
