Instructions:
-
Sift the flour and cornstarch together into a bowl.
-
In a saucepan, melt the butter with the water, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
-
Add the flour and cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and stir until it forms a compact dough.
-
Transfer the dough to a bowl and mix in the beaten egg until smooth and uniform in texture.
-
Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle and pipe it directly into hot oil, forming small teardrop shapes.
-
Fry the churros until golden brown, then drain them on paper towels.
-
While still warm, roll the churros in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
Serve warm with chocolate sauce, dulce de leche, or just enjoy them plain — crispy on the outside, soft on the inside!
