Churros

Directions

1. 1
   In a pot, set the water to boil with the salt.
2. 2
   Separately, sift the flour and baking powder together. When the water is boiling, add the flour in one large lump. Immediately remove the pot from heat and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything is mixed.
3. 3
   Once the dough has cooled enough to handle, spoon it into a pastry bag fitted with a serrated tip.
4. 4
   Pipe out strips of dough onto parchment paper and cut them off with a knife or scissors. Make sure they will fit in the skillet you are using to fry.
5. 5
   Heat up the olive oil on medium-high heat and once hot, add the churros in batches until golden. You may need to cover the oil while they fry to prevent spitting.
6. 6
   Remove the churros onto paper towels to drain and sprinkle with granulated sugar before serving.
