2. Add the flour and mix vigorously until well blended (the dough will come together in a minute or two).

3. Remove from the stove and let it cool a bit. Once it is not too hot, add the egg and work the egg into the dough. Try to do it as fast as possible. At the beginning it might look like the churro dough doesn’t want to bind but take your time it will.

4. Pour the oil into a large frying pan and heat it up.

5. Fill a piping bag fitted with star piping tip with half of the dough (it is easier to handle).

7. Pipe the dough directly into the hot oil (choose any length you like) and cut with a fork (I found fork the best tool for this). Do not pipe too many churros in as they need space for frying. It will take only about 2 minutes for them to get nice golden color and that is a sign they are ready. They should get the color gradually. If you see they are not getting dark evenly, reduce the temperature.
