Step 1
Heat water and butter in a saucepan over medium until butter melts. Remove from heat and stir in flour until a thick dough forms.
Step 2
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

Pipe 4-inch lengths of dough into hot oil. Fry 90 seconds per side until deep golden, then transfer to a paper towel.

While still warm, dip each churro in cinnamon sugar, coating all sides generously.
