1-Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, optionally spritzing with cooking spray for extra crispness.

2-Boil the Base: In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt over medium heat until just gently boiling, stirring occasionally.

3-Form the Dough: Remove from heat, add flour all at once, and stir vigorously until a smooth, shiny dough ball forms and pulls away from the pan.

4-Cool and Add Eggs: Let dough cool for 3-5 minutes, then beat in eggs one at a time until glossy, thick, and ribbon-like.

5-Pipe the Bites: Transfer dough to a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe 1-inch stars onto the baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart (or use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped).

6-Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed, golden, and firm; avoid opening the oven for the first 10 minutes and rotate the pan halfway through.

7-Coat and Serve: Mix sugar and cinnamon, then toss the hot baked churro bites in the mixture immediately and serve within 10 minutes.
