¼ tsp salt⁣
140 g all-purpose flour⁣
1 egg⁣
½ tsp vanilla paste or extract⁣
⁣⁣
Cinnamon-sugar⁣⁣⁣
Frying oil⁣⁣⁣

Batter:⁣⁣⁣

Frying:⁣⁣⁣
•Add frying oil to a large cast iron pot. Heat oil to 355F/180C (use a thermometer for accuracy.)⁣
•Take your churros out of the fridge. Using scissors, cut the paper around each churro to make it easier to transfer into the hot oil.⁣
•Place 3-4 churros into the hot oil with the parchment paper. Remove the paper with a pair of thongs; after a couple of seconds in the oil, the paper should easily slip from underneath the churros.⁣
•Fry the churros for 1.5-2 minutes on each side.⁣
•Transfer to paper towels and toss in cinnamon sugar while still warm.⁣
