Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your very own Churros Poppers:
1. Prepare the Oil: In a heavy-bottomed pan or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the poppers.
2. Make the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil.
3. Add Flour: Remove from heat and immediately stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball. Allow it to cool slightly.
4. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
5. Transfer to Piping Bag: Fit a large piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle and fill it with the dough mixture.
6. Pipe the Poppers: Once the oil is hot, carefully pipe small dough balls into the oil, cutting them off with scissors to create poppers. Fry a few at a time, ensuring they have space to expand.
7. Fry Until Golden: Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove them and drain on paper towels.
8. Coat in Sugar: While they are still warm, roll the poppers in a mix of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
9. Cool: Allow them to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm!
