Churro Pretzels

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
¼ tsp. table salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
canola oil
coarse salt or pretzel salt for garnish

Recipe:

1. Mix together ½ cup sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Reserve.
2. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, ½ cup butter, table salt, and 1 cup water in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat, and add flour, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and add 1 egg at a time, stirring vigorously until each egg is incorporated and the mixture forms a smooth dough. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip.
3. Pipe pretzels onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
4. Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a large Dutch oven; heat oil to 350 degrees. Add frozen pretzels to hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove churro pretzels to a paper towel-lined baking sheet, drain, and toss in cinnamon sugar mixture.
5. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Brush churros with butter and sprinkle with coarse salt. Sprinkle any remaining sugar and serve immediately.
