The Story

Churros are made from a choux pastry dough that's piped into long, ridged shapes and deep-fried until golden brown. They are typically coated in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, creating a sweet and aromatic outer layer. Churros can be enjoyed on their own or dipped in various sauces, such as chocolate, caramel, or dulce de leche. Their crunchy texture and warm, fluffy interior make them an irresistible treat.

Directions

Step

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 2 1/2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step

Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until a thick, smooth dough forms.

Step

Heat vegetable oil for frying in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Step

Transfer the churro dough into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip (or use a plastic resealable bag with a corner cut off).

Step

Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to the desired length with scissors. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Step

Fry the churros until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-4 minutes per batch.

Step

Remove the fried churros with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step

While the churros are still warm, roll them in a mixture of 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until evenly coated.

Step

Serve your freshly fried churros while they are warm and crispy. They are best enjoyed with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as chocolate, caramel, or dulce de leche.

Tips for this recipe

To make the cinnamon sugar coating stick better, roll the churros in the mixture immediately after frying while they are still hot.
