  • In a 1½-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, butter, salt, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.
  • Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low.

  • Heat the oil in a medium skillet or small saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
  • Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  • Pipe 1-inch strips of dough over the hot oil, cutting them with a knife as they drop into the oil.
  • Fry the Disney Churros Recipe bites until golden brown and crisp on all sides.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • In a bowl, combine the sugar and remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
