Cullen's Churros (Mexican doughnuts)

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
4 ounces butter
2 cups cake flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3 eggs
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

Method:

In a medium-sized pot, add all ingredients except flour and eggs.

Bring to a boil and then add flour.

Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. The dough will form a ball in the center when it is through cooking.

Move hot mixture to a mixing bowl and whisk in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.

Let dough cool and then place it in a pastry piping bag with a large star tip.
To Cook:

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet to 325 degrees and pipe the dough into the pan in long sticks.

Fry until golden brown and serve by sprinkling each one with cinnamon and sugar.
