Churro Dough

Cinnamon Sugar

Salted Caramel Sauce

Method

Churro Dough

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Add Dry Ingredients

    Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in flour and salt until a dough forms. Return to low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to dry out the dough slightly.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Eggs

    Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth and glossy.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Frying

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

Frying Churros

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 360°F (182°C).

  2. 6

    Pipe and Fry

    Carefully pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  1. 7

    Mix Cinnamon Sugar

    In a shallow bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon.

  2. 8

    Coat Churros

    While churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Salted Caramel Sauce

  1. 9

    Make Caramel Sauce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns a deep amber color. Be careful not to burn it.

  2. 10

    Add Butter and Cream

    Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until melted. Gradually add heavy cream while whisking continuously until smooth.

  3. 11

    Season with Salt

    Stir in the sea salt and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
