4. Remove the dough ball from the pot and fill the dough in the piping bag with the nozzle.
5. Pipe 8cm sticks on a baking sheet and keep aside or frying.
6. Heat oil on medium to low heat so Churros can fry thoroughly, add two to three Churros at a time, and deep fry until golden brown.
7. Transfer fried churros onto a paper towel and then into the sugar and cinnamon mix.
