Churro Donut Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Donuts

    Melt the butter in a small saucepan and mix it with the dough until fully incorporated. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe donut shapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Donuts

    Carefully drop the piped donuts into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  5. 5

    Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

    In a bowl, mix together the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Roll the warm donuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

  6. 6

    Serve with Ice Cream

    Place warm churro donuts on a plate and top with scoops of ice cream. Enjoy immediately!
