Churros
- Prep Time: 12
- Cook Time: 20
- Total Time: 32 minutes
- Yield: 10-12 churros 1x
Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 4 eggs
- Cinnamon and sugar for rolling
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200° F. Set aside a sheet pan or baking dish to store churros in warm oven. Prepare piping bag and set aside in a tall cup. Prepare Sugar cinnamon mixture in a container where you can roll the churros (i.e. casserole dish) and set aside.
- In a small sauce pan, bring water, salt, sugar, and butter to a boil. Add flour and cook until the dough pulls from the sides of the pot.
- Remove from heat and transfer into an electric mixing bowl with paddle attachment. Mix a little to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, until a soft peak forms.
- Heat oil to 350°F for frying. I prefer to use cast iron. (see “Frying” above)
- Transfer dough to prepared piping bag. ( see “Piping” above)
- Pipe dough and cut into hot oil to fry. Be sure to hold it low to avoid big splashes of hot oil. Fry until brown.
- Transfer from oil to cinnamon sugar mixture and roll to coat evenly. Transfer to sheet pan and keep in the oven until all the dough is fried.
- Enjoy your churros while they’re warm! (:
Notes
- Fried and sugared churros may be kept warm in a low temperature oven for up to an hour.
