For the Churros:

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Ice Cream Sandwich:

  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream (or any flavor of choice)

Prepare the Churro Dough:

1

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil.

2

Reduce heat to low, then add flour and stir vigorously until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

3

Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

4

Mix in vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, stirring until fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.

Pipe and Fry the Churros:

5

Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

6

On a parchment-lined baking sheet, pipe round churro discs (about 3 inches in diameter) to form the sandwich base.

7

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).

8

Carefully fry churro rounds in batches for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

9

Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Coat the Churros:

10

Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

11

While the churros are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.

Assemble the Ice Cream Sandwich:

12

Place a scoop of ice cream onto one churro disc.

13

Gently press another churro disc on top to form a sandwich.

14

Serve immediately or freeze for 10 minutes to firm up.

Recipe Notes:

Dough Consistency : If the dough is too thick, add a teaspoon of water to loosen it.

Piping Tip : Use a large star tip to get the signature ridges on the churros.

Ice Cream Flavors : Try chocolate, caramel, or strawberry ice cream for a fun twist.

Make Ahead : Store fried churros in an airtight container and reheat before assembling.

Baking Option : For a healthier version, bake churro discs at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, then coat with cinnamon sugar.
