Description

Churros are a popular dessert in Spain, Mexico, and many other countries. They are fried dough pastry that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Churros are often served with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce for dipping. Making churros at home is easier than you think, and it's a fun activity to do with family and friends.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Piping bag with a star tip
  • Frying pan or deep fryer
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

Method

  1. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Add flour and stir continuously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a star tip.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer over medium heat.
  8. Pipe the dough into the hot oil, cutting it into 4 to 6 inch strips with a knife or scissors.
  9. Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  10. Remove the churros from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  11. Roll the warm churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture and serve immediately with chocolate or caramel sauce on the side.

Notes

Churros are best served fresh and warm. You can make the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Let the dough come to room temperature before piping and frying. You can also freeze the churros for up to 3 months. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.

All-purpose flour works best for this recipe. You can try using other flours, but the texture and taste may be different.

Can I use a different type of oil for frying?

Vegetable oil or canola oil works best for frying churros. You can try using other oils, but the taste and texture may be different.

Can I make churros without a piping bag?

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the churros. The ideal temperature is 375°F.
  • Don't overcrowd the frying pan or deep fryer. Fry the churros in small batches to ensure they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a star tip for your piping bag, you can use a round tip or simply cut the end of the bag.
  • Roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm. This will help the sugar stick to the surface.
  • Experiment with different dipping sauces, such as Nutella or dulce de leche.
