Ingredients

Directions

Fill a deep-fryer or large Dutch oven halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F.

Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a large shallow bowl, set aside.

Combine the butter, water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once it has come to a boil, lower to a medium heat and add the flour, orange zest and nutmeg, stirring constantly until it comes away from the pan and it forms a ball. Transfer dough to a bowl and use an electric mixer to help cool it off. At this point you can whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time, until it becomes a smooth batter. Transfer the mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Working in batches, carefully pipe 4-inch long ribbons directly into the hot oil to fry. Fry until golden, turning if necessary, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels. Transfer the churros into the sugar/cinnamon mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately while still warm.

    I thought these were very easy and fast to make. I really liked the orange zest taste in the churros. I really had difficulty in piping the batter into the oil, but I may just need to practice it.

    DELICIOUS! I found it to have the right amount of sweetness and I didn't mind that the shape wasn't perfect. Overall, this recipe is great if you're craving something sweet and need it fast!

    They look like churros but the batter is bland and not sweet. Even with sugar and cinnamon on the outside, these churros don't have that ideal churro flavor. I'm going to experiment by sweetening the batter with more sugar, but I do not recommend this recipe for the above reasons. They'll still taste OK because it's fried dough with sugar, but look elsewhere for something more authentic.
