1- Add milk, water, sugar, salt and butter to a pot. Heat until the butter melts

2- When the mixture starts to boil, add the flour. Mix the flour with the help of a wooden spoon until the flour has been well integrated.

3- Remove the pot from the heat and add the previously beaten eggs. In a few minutes you should have a homogeneous and smooth cream

4- Put the mixture in a “churrera” or a pastry bag with a star-shaped nozzle

Frying and final presentation of the Mexican churros:

1- Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan. Form 6-inch strips of dough with the pastry bag and place in hot oil.

2- Fry the churros for about 2 minutes until golden and turn them over to get a uniform, golden color.

3- Remove the churros on a tray lined with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Wait 10 minutes for them to cool down.

4- Roll the churros in the mixture of sugar and cinnamon and they’re ready to serve.
