Churro Nuggets

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until the dough forms a ball.

  2. 2

    Add Eggs

    Let the dough cool for a few minutes, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Nuggets

    Using a spoon or pastry bag, drop small amounts of dough into the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

    In a bowl, combine powdered sugar and cinnamon. While the churro nuggets are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

  6. 6

    Serve with Caramel

    Arrange the churro nuggets on a serving plate and drizzle with salted caramel sauce before serving.
