Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

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

Steps:

Fill a deep frying pan 1 1/2 inches deep with vegetable oil. Heat to medium-high heat.
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.
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.
In a small bowl or saucer, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Dip fried churros in the sugar to coat. Serve hot.
