Ingredients:

Meanwhile, open a separate the biscuit dough.  With each biscuit, stretch it out into a rectangle.  Cut into 4 long strips.  Roll into spiral lengths.

Place no more than 4 at a time into the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes each side.  Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel.

While the churro is still hot, roll it in a mixture of cinnamon sugar.  Serve alongside a chocolate dipping sauce.
