To make these Gingerbread Churro Bites, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

To start, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat. Add the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F. Pipe the dough into small bite-sized pieces directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the dough as you go. Fry the churro bites until golden brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
