Churros Recipe

Ingredients:

140g flour (1 cup)

220ml water (1 cup)

40g butter

2 medium eggs (approximately 120g in shell)

1 tablespoon of sugar

Instructions:

Prepare the Churro Dough:

In a saucepan, combine the water, butter, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil and the butter is fully melted.

Add Flour:

Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the flour until it forms a smooth, thick dough. Make sure there are no lumps.

Incorporate Eggs:

Allow the dough to cool slightly, and then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should become smooth and glossy.

Prepare for Frying:

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Make sure you have enough oil for frying; it should be deep enough to fully submerge the churros.

Pipe the Churros:

Transfer the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip.

Fry Churros:

Carefully pipe strips of dough directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the dough to your desired length. Be cautious to avoid splattering hot oil.

Fry Until Golden:

Fry the churros until they turn golden brown and crispy, usually for about 2-4 minutes. Ensure they are evenly cooked on all sides.

Drain and Coat:

Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried churros from the oil. Allow them to drain on paper towels briefly.

Coat with Sugar:

While the churros are still warm, roll them in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon (if desired) for extra flavor.

Serve Warm:

Churros are best enjoyed while still warm and fresh. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chocolate, caramel, or dulce de leche.

Enjoy:

Your homemade churros are ready to be enjoyed as a delightful snack or dessert!

Churros are a classic treat known for their crispy exterior and soft, doughy interior. They are often enjoyed with a dusting of sugar and cinnamon or dipped in various sweet sauces.
