Why This Recipe Works · 5 ingredients (plus oil and coating) · No eggs – the dough is just water, butter, sugar, flour, and salt · No resting time – from pot to plate in under half an hour · No special equipment except a piping bag with a star nozzle · Crispy every time – the high-starch dough puffs beautifully in hot oil Ingredients (in Grams for Precision) For the Churro Dough Ingredient Volume Weight (g) Water 1 cup 240 g Granulated su...
