Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar (for coating)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Ice cream of your choice (about 1 pint)
Chocolate sauce or caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Churro Dough: In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in flour until a dough forms. Let it cool slightly.
Mix in Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until smooth.
Heat Oil: In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat for frying.
Pipe Churros: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Roll the hot churros in the mixture until fully coated.
Assemble Sandwiches: Allow churros to cool slightly, then slice them in half lengthwise. Fill with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.
Serve: Press the churro halves together and serve immediately for a warm and cold treat.
