Method
1
In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil; bring to a boil.
2
Once boiling, add flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
3
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
4
Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F).
5
Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip with the dough.
6
Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting to desired length, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
7
Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
8
While still warm, roll the churros in cinnamon sugar.
9
Using a piping tip or a small spoon, fill each churro with cajeta by inserting into one end.
10
Serve immediately, optionally dusted with powdered sugar and garnished with lime zest for extra flavor.
