If you’re a Disney Parks fanatic, you recognize the flaky, fried, golden brown, sugar-coated pastry in the photo above. While the parks may be closed temporarily, Disney is still sprinkling magic around by sharing this coveted Disney Churro recipe with us to make at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 8 tablespoons butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs

- ½ cup sugar
Instructions
- Combine water, butter, salt, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in 1 ½-quart saucepan over medium heat. Bring pot to rolling boil.

- Add eggs, one at a time, and stir until combined. Set aside.
- Heat oil in medium skillet or 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat or until temperature reaches 350˚.
