Churros

1. 1

   Bring water, lard, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in flour vigorously until it forms a ball, about 1 minute. Allow mixture to cool slightly. Beat the eggs in a bowl and slowly add to the saucepan (on medium heat) stirring until a ball forms and the dough comes off the sides of the pan. Heat a 12 inch skillet that is at least 2 inches deep, with 1/4 inch of oil, to 325 degrees. Using a piping bag, filled with a medium star tip, pipe dough into (5 to 10 inch) strips, onto parchment lined tray. Fry until amber brown. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon mixture on churros, immediately. Serve warm. Makes approximately 5 to 7 churros.
