Churro Ingredients

Method

Churro Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Dough

In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

2

Add Eggs

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

3

Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4

Pipe the Churros

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length.

5

Fry the Churros

Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6

Coat with Sugar

In a shallow bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the fried churros in the mixture until coated.

7

Serve

Serve the churros warm with scoops of ice cream on the side.
