Ingredients
- Water
- 1 cup

- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (for coating)
- Ground cinnamon

Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, white sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
- Stir in the flour until the mixture forms a smooth ball. Let it cool for a few minutes.

Tips
- For an extra flavor twist, try adding a tablespoon of vanilla extract to the dough.
- If you like a softer churro, reduce the frying time slightly.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces like caramel or dulce de leche for added variety.
