Prepare the Dough

In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and the mixture starts to simmer, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Shape and Fry

Fill a large piping bag fitted with a star tip with the dough. Heat oil in a deep pot or skillet to 375°F (190°C). Pipe 4-inch long churros directly into the hot oil, cutting them with a pair of scissors. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
