Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir continuously until the flour is fully incorporated and the dough forms a ball.

Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Using a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner cut off, pipe the churro dough into the hot oil, cutting off pieces about 4 inches long. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remove the churros from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
