Churro Sticks

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

Caramel Sauce

Vanilla Ice Cream

Method

Churro Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts.

  2. 2

    Mix in the flour

    Once boiling, remove from heat and add the flour, stirring vigorously until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Add eggs

    Allow the dough to cool slightly, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Heat oil for frying

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

  5. 5

    Pipe churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch long strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors.

  6. 6

    Fry churros

    Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  1. 7

    Prepare the coating

    In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

  2. 8

    Coat churros

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

Caramel Sauce

  1. 9

    Make the caramel

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns a golden brown color, stirring occasionally.

  2. 10

    Add butter

    Once caramelized, carefully add the butter and stir until melted and combined.

  3. 11

    Finish the sauce

    Slowly add the heavy cream while stirring, then add the vanilla extract. Let simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.

Serve

  1. 12

    Assemble the dish

    Serve the churro sticks warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
