   Pour the vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to a depth of about 5 cm. Heat the oil to 180°C (350°F).

   Kokin vinkki: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for crispy churros.

6. 6

   Carefully pipe 10-15 cm strips of dough directly into the hot oil, using kitchen scissors to snip the dough from the piping bag. Fry 3-4 churros at a time to avoid overcrowding the pot.

   Kokin vinkki: Do not overcrowd the pot, as this will lower the oil temperature and make the churros greasy.

7. 7

   Fry the churros for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
