Mix the gluten free flour with the xanthan gum in a bowl.
- 2
Put the water, butter, 1 tbsp sugar and salt in a pan. Heat until the butter melts and the water boils.

Tip in the flour mix all at once. Beat hard with a wooden spoon for 1 to 2 minutes until it forms a ball and leaves the side of the pan. Cool for 5 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla, until you have a smooth, thick, glossy dough. Spoon into a piping bag with a large star nozzle.

Heat the oil in a deep pan to 180C. Pipe 12 cm lengths, snipping with scissors, and fry 4 at a time for about 3 minutes, turning, until deep golden.

Drain on kitchen paper. Mix the coating sugar and cinnamon on a plate and roll the hot churros in it. Serve at once.
