Churro Ingredients

Method

Churro Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Incorporate Eggs

    Allow the dough to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth and glossy.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Coat with Sugar

    Remove churros from oil and drain on paper towels. In a bowl, mix granulated sugar with cinnamon, then roll churros in the mixture while still warm.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve churros warm with chocolate sauce for dipping.
