Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Water
- 60 g Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 125 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 L Vegetable oil
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour to the saucepan and stir quickly with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together and forms a smooth ball.
Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with a hand mixer or wooden spoon after each addition, until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to about 180°C (350°F).
Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Carefully pipe 3- to 4-inch strips of dough into the hot oil. Use scissors or a knife to cut the dough when reaching desired length.
Fry the churros in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
In a shallow dish, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Roll the warm churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated and serve immediately.
