Description

These classic Spanish churros are the ultimate comfort snack, featuring a crisp, fluted exterior that gives way to a soft, airy interior. Made from a simple choux pastry base, they are deep-fried to a perfect golden brown and then tossed in a fragrant blend of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. The result is a delightful contrast of textures and warm, sweet flavors that are irresistible. Perfect for dipping in thick hot chocolate, coffee, or dulce de leche, these treats are ideal for weekend breakfasts, festive gatherings, or a cozy afternoon indulgence. They are best enjoyed fresh and warm, straight from the fryer.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine butter with 1/2 cup water.
  2. Stir over low heat until the butter is completely melted.
  3. Bring the mixture just to a boil, add 1/8 teaspoon salt, and remove from heat.
  4. Add 1 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour all at once; beat vigorously with a wooden spoon.
  5. Return over low heat and beat for about 2 minutes until the dough is very smooth and forms a ball.
  6. Remove from heat and let the dough cool slightly.
  7. Beat in 3 eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  8. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and continue beating until the mixture has a satiny sheen.
  9. Meanwhile, heat salad oil (at least 1-1/2 inches deep) in a deep skillet or fryer to 380&# 194;°F (193°C).
  10. Press the dough through a large pastry bag fitted with a large, fluted tip (1/2 inch wide).
  11. Using wet scissors, cut the batter into 2-inch lengths directly into the hot oil.
  12. Deep fry a few at a time for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown.
  13. Lift churros out with a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels.
  14. Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  15. Toss the warm, drained churros in the sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  16. Serve immediately while warm.
