In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. (5 minutes)
02 Step

Add flour all at once and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until a soft, sticky dough ball forms and a starchy film coats the bottom of the pan. (5 minutes)
03 Step

1 mins
Continue cooking for about 1 minute more, scraping the film off the bottom of the pan as you stir. Some of the film will be reabsorbed by the dough.

Add vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The mixture may appear separated at first, but it will eventually come together into a smooth, sticky dough.
06 Step

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (such as a Wilton #8B). Pipe 3- to 4-inch ropes of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart. Use the back of a knife or a wet finger to cleanly cut the dough at the end of each piping.
08 Step

1 mins
Lightly spray the tops of the piped churros with cooking spray, then generously spray the entire pan with water. This helps create a crispy exterior.

Bake in the preheated oven until the churros are puffed and golden brown, (20-25 minutes). Turn off the oven and open the door slightly to vent heat (10 seconds). Close the door, leaving it ajar by a few inches, and let the churros rest in the oven to crisp up further (10 minutes).

While the churros are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture by combining granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow dish or bag.
11 Step

2 mins
Remove the baked churros from the oven. Working in batches of 6, brush lightly with melted butter and toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
For best results, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching.
Ensure the dough is not too hot when adding the eggs to avoid cooking them.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with a corner cut off.
The water spray is crucial for achieving the signature crispy churro texture.
These churros are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a warm oven to restore crispness.
