Sunday Churros
Because I did nothing all day, I decided to make churros and invite my friends over to eat them and play games.
2 cups of water
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ Mexican vanilla extract
4-6 cups vegetable oil, divided
2cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
In a medium saucepan on medium heat, combine the water, 1 cup of sugar, salt, vanilla, and two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat.
Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon, making sure all of the flour is completely mixed in. Allow for the dough to cool for about 15 minutes.
Transfer your dough into a large piping bag with a large star tip on it and place it in the fridge to cool for an extra 30 minutes.
In a large pot, bring the rest of the vegetable oil to 350 degrees (adjust the amount of oil depending on the size of your pot), using a thermometer. Adjust the heat to keep the oil at a constant temperature during frying
Pipe 4 inch long churros into the oil very carefully, and fry for about 4-5 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the churros from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
Combine the remaining two tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon in a large bowl. Toss the churros around the bow to coat.

They were really good but I used the small star tip and I think they came out a bit too small. Waverly was making them by hand a the bigger ones we're kinda good just weird because they weren't even. Next time I'll just use a plastic bag and cook them less.
I also make a chocolate sauce which I think went really well with them. It was just milk, baking chocolate, chocolate powder, sugar, and cinnamon.
