**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup water
– 2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 quarts of oil for frying
– 1/2 cup white sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat.
2. Stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball. It should come together easily and not be sticky. Set the dough aside for a few minutes to cool slightly.
3. Heat the oil for frying in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is hot enough.
4. Place the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip for shaping the churros.
5. Carefully pipe 6-inch strips of dough into the hot oil using scissors to cut the dough. Fry 3 or 4 churros at a time, turning them occasionally until golden brown.
6. Remove the churros from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
7. Mix the remaining white sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
8. Serve your homemade Churros Cinnamon Sugar Fried Dough warm and enjoy the magic of the holiday season with every sweet bite.
