1. **Prepare the Dough**<\/p>\n
In a saucepan, bring the water, butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla to a boil. Remove from heat and immediately add all the flour. Stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the pan.<\/p>\n
2. **Incorporate the Eggs**<\/p>\n
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.<\/p>\n
3. **Preheat the Oven**<\/p>\n
Preheat your oven to 390\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n
4. **Shape the Churros**<\/p>\n
Fill a piping bag with the dough and pipe “U” shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them properly.<\/p>\n
5. **Baking**<\/p>\n
Bake the churros in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn golden and crispy.<\/p>\n
6. **Coat the Churros**<\/p>\n
While baking, mix sugar and cinnamon in a dish. Once the churros are out of the oven and still hot, roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mix to coat evenly.<\/p>\n
7. **Serve and Enjoy**<\/p>\n
Serve the warm churros with a side of hot chocolate for dipping.<\/p>\n
Enjoy this delightful treat that brings a touch of sweetness to any day with less guilt, thanks to the baking method that skips the deep-frying.<\/p>\n\n\n
