Churro Donut Bites

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball. Let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Add Eggs

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

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Dough

    Using a small scoop or your hands, drop spoonfuls of dough into the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

    In a bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the warm churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the churro donut bites warm, alongside dulce de leche for dipping and fresh fruit on the side. Sprinkle with grated spicy Mexican chocolate for an extra kick.
