Banana Churros

Banana Churros Serves 8 1⁄4 cup water 2 ounces butter (1/4 cup) 3⁄4 cup milk 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 eggs 1 very ripe banana, mashed oil 3 tablespoons sugar 1⁄2-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Bring the water, butter and milk to a boil. Add the flour and baking powder, stirring rapidly until a soft ball is formed and dough pulls away from the sides of the pan. With an electric mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time and then add the banana. Allow to cool for a few minutes and pipe into 2 - 4 inch tubes with a pastry bag filled with a star tip. Fry in 350°F oil until golden brown. Combine the cinnamon and sugar or if you would like more of a pronounced banana flavor use plain granulated sugar. While the churros are still warm, dust with cinnamon sugar.
