Churros Taste Even Better With Homemade Caramel Sauce
The only places to get churros near me are amusement parks or Taco Bell. And as much as I love Disney, I can’t justify paying to get into Disney for a churro. Plus, they don’t have delicious salted caramel dipping sauce to go with their churros!

Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1 ½ cup, plus 1 tablespoon, all purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying
- ½ cup sugar, for dusting
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon, for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water, sugar, salt and butter to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and add in all the flour. Stir until the mixture comes together and starts to form a ball, pulling away from the sides of the pan. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
- Using a hand mixer, or a wooden spoon and lots of muscle, beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure they are incorporated into the batter before adding the next one. It will be lumpy at first, but keep going until the batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Mix together the ½ cup sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
- Heat oil to 375℉. Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil. You can use scissors or a knife to cut the dough from the tip.
- Fry until the churros are golden brown on the outside, about 2-4 minutes, giving them a turn frequently. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet pan to drain for 1-2 minutes.
- While still hot, roll the churros in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Serve hot with chocolate or caramel sauce, if desired.
Notes
- To make straight churros: Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper, spray with non stick cooking spray. Pipe strips of dough onto the baking sheet, freeze for 10 minutes before deep frying.
- Use a large cast iron dutch oven for deep frying. These hold the heat well.
- If your oil overheats, carefully add more room temperature oil to lower the temperature.
- If your oil temperature drops too much, you might be crowding the pot. Only cook a couple churros at a time, and allow the oil to come back up to temperature between batches.
