Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• cinnamon + sugar
• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 2-3 tbsp. strawberry jam

Here’s what to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan melt the butter with the salt and water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat.

Remove from heat, add the flour and stir to combine. Leave dough in the saucepan, but beat it on low with a hand mixer, adding one egg at a time, mixing well before adding another. After adding each egg, the mixture will become wet and glossy, but after mixing on high for a few seconds it will thicken again.

When all the eggs are are combined, add the vanilla. The dough will be thick and starchy, still with a similar texture to mashed potatoes.

Chill dough for 2 hours or until firm enough that a spoon stuck into the dough can stand on its own for a few seconds.

Spoon the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Lightly spray a cookie sheet and pipe 8-inch rows of the dough with at least 1 inch between each churro.

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, and when a toothpick comes out clean. While churros are baking, mix cream cheese and jam together.

Transfer churros to a baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Let cool until all right to touch with your bare hands. Cut churros into 1 1/2 inch sections.

Put cream cheese mixture into a pastry bag and pipe a small amount into each churro bite. Enjoy!
