Instructions
Heat your water with salt to a boil, then sift the all-purpose flour into a large heat-safe mixing bowl.
Make a well in the flour and pour in the boiling water, stirring just enough to moisten all of the flour and bring the dough together. About 30 seconds and you should have a loose dough that isn't too runny or soft while also firm enough to hold its shape.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a Dutch oven or other deep skillet until it reaches 350-375°F (175-190°C).
Transfer the churro dough into a pastry bag or large ziploc plastic storage bag with the tip cut off to fit a large star shaped piping tip. Carefully squeeze out 6 inch strips of churro dough and cut the dough using kitchen shears.
Fry the dough until golden, then flip as needed to get a lovely golden brown color on all sides (about 5 minutes total). Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried churros and transfer them onto a wire cooling rack. Work in batches until all of the dough has been fried.
Roll the fried churros in a plate of confectioners' sugar or dust the churros with the sugar while on the cooling rack. Serve immediately.
