Step 2: Prepare Dough for Frying
Place the dough ball in a bowl and stir in the eggs, one by one until fully combined. Heat oil in medium skillet on medium-high heat or until temperature reaches 350° F, make sure your oil is the right temperature. Spoon dough into piping bag fitted with large star piping tip.
Step 3: Fry Churro Bites Until Golden Brown
Begin squeezing the filled piping bag over the hot oil that has a rolling boil. Once 2-3 inches of dough is out of the piping bag, use scissors to cut the dough to get bite size pieces. 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 favorite dipping sauce.
