Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 0.5 cup Chocolate sauce (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the all-purpose flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the dough to cool for 5 minutes.
Once the dough has cooled slightly, beat in the egg. Stir until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth and glossy.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip.
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains this temperature during frying.
Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting the strips with scissors or a knife. Fry 3-4 churros at a time to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Fry the churros for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the fried churros to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Serve immediately with optional chocolate or caramel dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your Churrisimos!
