Time 40m

Yield 64 churros

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
One 16-ounce tube ready-to-bake buttermilk biscuit dough
One 15-ounce jar fudge sauce, warmed slightly, for dipping

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches about 375 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Separate the biscuits, then gently press and elongate into 1/3-inch-thick rectangles. Cut each rectangle into 1/4-inch slices--you should get about 8 long slices per biscuit. Twist the ends of each slice in opposite directions 4 times.
  • Fry the churros in batches, stirring and flipping as needed, about 30 seconds per batch.
  • Remove the churros to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain, then toss in the cinnamon sugar.
  • Serve warm with the fudge sauce on the side.
