• 1 cup water
• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• oil, for deep fry
• 1⁄2 cup white sugar

directions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
2. Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet. Pipe strips of dough into hot oil using a pastry bag. Be warned, a lot of pressure needed to pipe out, my disposable piping bag actually burst halfway piping it. Hence use a silicone piping bag. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
3. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon/ green tea. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture while its hot.
