Instructions
Make the Choux Dough
Combine water butter and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil then add flour all at once and stir vigorously until a smooth dough ball forms and pulls away from the sides. Remove from heat.
Add the Eggs
Let the dough cool for 5 minutes then beat in eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth glossy and pipeable. The dough should fall slowly from a spoon.
Heat Oil and Pipe Dough
Heat oil to 375 degrees F. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 1 inch pieces of dough directly into the hot oil cutting with scissors. Do not pipe too many at once.
Fry Until Golden
Fry the churro bites for 3 to 4 minutes turning occasionally until they are deep golden and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels.
Coat and Serve
While still hot toss churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Serve immediately alongside melted chocolate for dipping.
