 Recipe source  - My friend Lakshmi who tried it from Cooking classy

Ingredients

Flour –  1 cup /130 gm

Butter – ¼ cup/ 55 gm

Sugar – 1 tablespoon

Water – 250 ml

Egg – 1 large

Salt – pinch

Vanilla extract – ½ tsp

For coating

Caster sugar – 75 gm

Cinnamon powder  – 1 tsp

Oil for frying

Method

Make the coating by mixing sugar and cinnamom powder in a plate. Leave it aside.

In a pan add water, sugar, salt, butter and bring to boil.

Add flour to it and cook on a medium low heat until it all comes together to a smooth , lump free  dough.
Allow it to cool down for 5 minutes.

Break the egg and add vanilla extract to it and beat with a hand mixer until well mixed and forms a smooth dough.

Meanwhile  heat oil in pan.

Fill the dough into a piping bag with rosette tip. 

When the oil is medium hot, you can either directly pipe the dough straight into hot oil and snip the end with a scissor or pipe it into a plate and gently slide it into hot oil. Do not over crowd the pan.

Fry the churros for 2-3 minutes by flipping sides in between until it’sslightly golden.

Drain it into a kitchen tissue to absorb any excess oil and then then transfer into cinnamon sugar plate. Coat the churros well with sugar.

Enjoy hot just as it is or with some chocolate sauce !
