Heat about two inches of oil in a skillet so as to cover the churros on over medium high heat. The oil must be very hot, otherwise the churro will not fry well.
2 cup vegetable or olive oil
Place Bisquick flour in a bowl and add tablespoon of sugar.
3 ¼ cup Bisquick flour or any flour churro mix., 1 cup of brown sugar (separated quantities).
Heat the water almost to a boil and add it to the flour.
1 cup of water.
Mix the hot water and flour carefully with a spatula until all the ingredients are integrated. You will notice that a heavy and sticky dough forms.
3 ¼ cup Bisquick flour or any flour churro mix., 1 cup of water.
Add the dough immediately to a pipping bag with a star tip. The dough to make churros must be lukewarm.
3 ¼ cup Bisquick flour or any flour churro mix., 1 cup of brown sugar (separated quantities).
You can carefully form the churro hearts on the hot oil using both hands as I did. Help yourself with some skewers to form the heart, do it quickly but carefully, before the churro cook, just make sure to close the heart well. The end of the churro must be above the tip so that the heart does not separate.

The second option is making the heart-shaped churros and place them on parchment paper. Take them to the freezer for a few minutes to harden a bit and then fry. This is a good idea if you want to make the churros ahead of time and fry them until Valentine’s Day.

Take the churros out when they are gold color and place them on a plate with a paper towel to absorb the oil.
Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon on a plate (if you are using red colored sugar, add that too).
¼ cup ground cinnamon., ¼ cup red coloring sugar (optional)
Sprinkle the heart shaped churros with this sugared mix.
¼ cup ground cinnamon., ¼ cup red coloring sugar (optional)
Notes
Serve the churros hot and enjoy with hot chocolate, champurrado or coffee.
