The perfect treat, churros are crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside and covered with a large pile of cinnamon sugar. Churros sound like something you get at a fair or maybe even a café, but they’re actually pretty easy to make at home with only a few simple ingredients.
My First Easy Churros Recipe Experience
Warm chocolate sauce and churros was my first encounter. It was pure magic to get crunchy dough then sweet coating. It turned into an easy weekend indulgence, and recreating that joy at home was so much easier than I thought it would be.
Ingredients
For the Churros:
Water: 1 cup
Unsalted butter: 2 tbsp
Granulated sugar: 1 tbsp
Salt: ¼ tsp
All-purpose flour: 1 cup
Eggs: 2 large
Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
For Coating:
Granulated sugar: ½ cup
Ground cinnamon: 1 tsp
For Frying:
Vegetable oil: For deep frying
Optional for Dipping:
Chocolate sauce: Smidgens of cream melted with chocolate
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Dough
Mix together water, butter, granulated sugar, and salt in a medium size sauce pan. Heat to place over medium heat and stir until butter melts and mixture begins to bubble.
Bring the pot off the heat and add all at once the flour. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon vigorously until the dough pulls away from the edges of the pan and you have a mass in your hands.
After cooling your dough a little bit, add butter a bead at a time and blend well after each bead. Add the vanilla extract. Smooth and pipable consistency of the dough.
Step 2: Stir all of it together.
Mix sugar and cinnamon together and put them in one bowl. Put it aside for later.
Step 3: Dewarm the Oil
Place 2-3 inches or so of vegetable oil in a saucepan or deep skillet, heat this to 350°F (175°C). Maintain the temperature. To achieve proper cooking use a thermometer.
Step 4: Fill the Churro Pipes
Next, cut the pieces of dough and place them into a piping bag where you can fill with the dough. Ensure it has a star tip.
With a hot oil container and a grease with hot oil add 4 to 6 inches of dough and pipe it in and cut into the dough with a knife. Crank them through when you’re frying to avoid having too many nuts compete for the same cooking room.
Step 5: Fry Until Golden
Churrros: Fry the churros for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Plate on a paper lined plate using a slotted spoon to remove, and drain.
Step 6: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
Roll the warm churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture, while still warm.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Carefully serve with chocolate sauce, caramel or dulce de leche for dipping, immediately.
Tips for Perfect Easy Churros Recipe
Consistent Temperature: Maintain a level of consistently warm oil.
Cool Dough Slightly: The problem with dough that is too hot is that it may overcook the eggs when you add them. Cool it down a little first, then mix it.
Pipe with Confidence: Pipe evenly shaped churros with the steady pressure.
Serve Fresh: To enjoy the best crispiness, churros only work great when served fresh and warm.
