• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 1 ¼ cups hot water
• 1 ½ cups buttermilk biscuit mix

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Fill a deep frying pan 1 1/2 inches deep with vegetable oil. Heat to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the water and baking mix. Using a wooden spoon, beat for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture becomes spongy and uniform.

Step 3

Using a pastry bag, pipe 5-inch long strips of batter into the hot oil. For best results, fry only a couple at a time. Cook until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.

Step 4

In a small bowl or saucer, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Dip fried churros in the sugar to coat. Serve hot.
