Step 1
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir in water until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Step 2
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (use a thermometer). Test with a small piece of dough—it should sizzle and float immediately.
Step 3
Transfer dough to a piping bag with a large star tip. Pipe 2-inch lengths directly into hot oil, using scissors to cut dough cleanly.
Step 4
Fry 4–5 pieces at a time for 90 seconds per side until golden brown and crispy. Don't crowd the pan.
Step 5
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Step 6
While still warm, toss churro bites in cinnamon sugar until fully coated. Serve immediately.
