Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Water
- 60 g Unsalted butter
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tbsp Sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia blend)
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon, for coating
- 500 ml Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, unsalted butter, salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and add the all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a cohesive dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan (about 1-2 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the dough, stirring after each addition until fully incorporated and smooth.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-frying pan or pot to 180°C (350°F).
Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip nozzle.
Carefully pipe 2-inch strips of dough into the hot oil, using scissors to snip off the ends. Fry the churros in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the churros with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar substitute and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar substitute mixture until well coated.
Serve the sugar-free mini churros immediately for the best texture and enjoy!
