Create the Churro Dough

In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of any flavor extract (chocolate for a chocolate churro, or strawberry for a strawberry churro) to a boil. Reduce the heat and add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously until the dough forms a ball. Remove from heat.

Fry those Flavors

Heat oil in a sturdy frying pan to about 350°F (175°C). Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle. Pipe about 4-inch (10 cm) long churros directly into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors. Fry until golden brown, flipping occasionally for even cooking. Remove from oil and let drain on a paper towel.

Coating Extravaganza

Get ready to coat those freshly fried churros with flavor! For chocolate churros, mix 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder in a bowl. Toss the churros in the mixture until they are evenly coated. For strawberry churros, blend 1/2 cup of sugar with freeze-dried strawberries until you get a fine powder. Dust the churros with this strawberry sugar goodness. Voila!
