1. In a medium sauce pot, bring lard, water and salt to a boil.
2. Next add the flour and mix until the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the pot, and creates a film.
3. Remove the pot from the heat and immediately add to the bowl of a kitchen aid mixer with a paddle attachment.
4. Mix on a low speed until it has cooled to just above room temperature.
5. Add all the eggs and mix until the batter is smooth and combined.
6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag with a large star tip (#7 tip) and you are ready to fry.
7. In a bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon, set aside till the end.
8. Fill another sauce pot with about one gallon of oil, use an oil thermometer to bring the oil to 350 degrees.
9. Pipe the churro batter into the hot oil, three inch churros works well.
10. Fry till golden brown, then pull them out of the fryer using a slotted spoon, and toss in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
