Step 3: Fry Churro Bites Until Golden Brown

Fry the churros until they are fully golden brown. Give the bites room to fry. Do not overcrowd. Remove churros from oil one at a time from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Step 4: Create Topping
In a medium bowl mix sugar and cinnamon together. Place each piece into the cinnamon sugar mixture and toss around to ensure the bites are fully coated. Churros are best eaten right away. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
