Ingredients

2 cups Water
¼ cup Sugar
½ tsp Salt
3 tbsp Canola Oil
2 cups flour
2 Eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
Canola Oil for frying
1 cup Sugar for topping
3 tsp cinnamon for topping

Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the water, sugar, salt and 3 tbsp canola oil until it reaches a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the flour, cinnamon and vanilla. Allow the dough to cool for 10 minutes.
Use a hand mixer to mix in eggs and set aside.
Add the frying oil to a soup pot or deep fryer and heat to 360 degrees.
Place the dough in a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe a six inch churro into the hot oil, using a knife to cut off the end. Work in small batches, about 3 or 4 churros at a time.
Fry the churros on each side for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove the churros and place on a paper towel lined plate.
Immediately roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. Serve the churros warm with melted chocolate or hot fudge sauce.

Cinnamon/Sugar Mixture

Lightsaber Churros: Place half the sugar in a bowl with 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon. Mix. Place 6-8 drops of red food coloring in the bowl and mix until incorporated. Repeat with other half of ingredients, using blue food coloring. May the Force Be With You.
