Churros

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

Ice Cream Filling

Method

Make Churro Dough

  1. 1

    Prepare dough base

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil.

  2. 2

    Add flour

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the flour all at once. Continue to stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cool and add eggs

    Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth. The dough should be thick but pipeable.

Fry Churros

  1. 4

    Heat oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Pipe dough

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 3-inch round spirals of dough onto small squares of parchment paper.

  3. 6

    Fry churros

    Carefully place the dough spirals into the hot oil, parchment side up. After a few seconds, remove the parchment with tongs. Fry each churro for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Coat Churros

  1. 7

    Mix cinnamon sugar

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

  2. 8

    Coat churro rounds

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

Assemble Sandwiches

  1. 9

    Soften ice cream

    Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes to make scooping easier.

  2. 10

    Build sandwiches

    Place a scoop of ice cream on one churro round and top it with another churro round to form a sandwich. Press gently to adhere.

  3. 11

    Freeze (optional)

    For firmer sandwiches, place the assembled churro ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before serving.
