Cinnamon Sugar Churros

In a heavy saucepan combine milk, butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves and butter melts. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add flour; stir with a wooden spoon until a shiny dough forms, about 1 minute. Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer; cool 5 minutes.

Beat in eggs, one at a time. Continue beating until a smooth, shiny, sticky paste forms. Spoon batter into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.

Pour oil to the depth of 2-3 inches in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat; heat to 350°F. Working in batches, pipe batter into 4-inch-long ribbons. Cut the lengths using scissors, carefully letting them slide into the hot oil. Fry until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels. Cool 5 minutes.

To serve: Toss in cinnamon sugar to coat. Serve warm.
