Ingredients:

• 75 ml of water
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 20g butter
• 55 g all-purpose flour
• replaces the word nice with emptych of salt
• 1 large egg
• Oil for frying (vegetable oil or canola oil)
• Granulated sugar to sprinkle

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar and butter. Heat over medium heat until boiling, then remove from heat.
2. Add the flour: Add the flour and a pinch of salt, mixing until you have a smooth dough. Return the pan to a low heat for a few seconds, stirring constantly to dry out the dough slightly.
3. Incorporate the egg: Remove the pan from the heat and let the dough cool slightly. Add the egg and mix well until completely incorporated, forming a smooth, shiny dough.
4. Heat the oil: In a frying pan or saucepan, heat the oil to around 180°C (350°F). The oil should be deep enough to allow the churros to float and fry evenly.
5. Shape the churros: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pour the dough directly into the hot oil, cutting the dough to the desired length (about 3 to 4 inches) using scissors or a knife.
6. Fry the churros: Fry the churros in batches, turning occasionally until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Drain and coat: Remove the churros from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper. While still warm, sprinkle generously with granulated sugar (or a mixture of sugar and cinnamon if you prefer).

Presentation suggestion: Serve the churros warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like melted chocolate, caramel or dulce de leche, for an even more indulgent treat.
