--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/4   c            Butter
   1       c            Sugar -- +1 tb, divided
     1/2   c            White corn meal
     1/2   c            Flour
   3       lg           Eggs
   2       ts           Cinnamon

  In a medium saucepan, heat butter with 1 tb sugar, 1/2 ts salt, and
  1 cup water to boiling. Remove pan from heat; immediately add corn
  meal and flour all at once. Over low heat, cook mixture, stirring
  constantly, until dough forms a ball, about 1 minute. Beat in eggs,
  one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition until dough
  is smooth. Line baking sheet with paper towels. In a paper bag or
  large bowl, mix remaining sugar with cinnamon. In a deep heavy
  skillet or dutch oven, heat 3" of salad oil to 375°F. Spoon dough
  into a pastry bag fitted with a #6 tip. Pipe 5" lengths of dough
  into the hot oil. Fry until browned on both sides, about 1-1/2
  minutes per side. With slotted spoon remove churros from oil and
  place on baking sheet. While still hot, place in bag and coat with
  cinnamon-sugar mix. Serve immediately.

  Makes about 2 dozen.
