Copycat Disneyland Churros

Ingredients

• 1 cup room-temperature water
• 3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons plus 4 cups vegetable oil, divided
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Line an ungreased baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add water, 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 3 tablespoons oil. Stir until mixture reaches a boil, about 4 minutes, then remove from heat.
3. Add flour and stir until combined.
4. Scoop dough into a large piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Let dough cool until you are able to hold the bag comfortable, about 3 minutes.
5. Pipe dough into 6″ lines onto prepared baking sheet. Place sheet into freezer to set 15 minutes.
6. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, add remaining 4 cups oil. It should measure to a depth of about 3″. Heat until oil reaches 375 degrees F. Line a large plate with paper towels and set aside.
7. In  a shallow medium bowl, combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
8. Carefully slide on Churro into hot oil. Flip while frying until golden brown, about 2 minutes total.
9. Remove from oil with tongs and place in bowl with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Turn to coat Churro thoroughly, and transfer to lined plate to cool. Repeat with remaining Churros.
