  2. Transfer dough to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
  3. Pipe small logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
Coat and Serve
  1. While churro bites are still warm, combine sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Brush each bite with melted butter and toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  3. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces.
