Spanish Churros Delicious Recipes

One of my blog readers Yatie was asking me for the recipe for Churros and I decided to make some yesterday. This is very popular snack in the Latin American country. The traditional churros is coated with sugar but in Buenos Aires, Argentina you will find the sugary churros dipped into hot melted chocolate and the best of all churros with dulce de leche (the famous traditional Argentinian sweet caramel cream). You can often find churros at bakery, café or from the street vendors.

Ingredients :

260 ml of water
6 tbsp of butter
1/2 tsp of salt
2 tbsp of sugar
1 3/4 cup of flour
1 tsp of baking powder
3 eggs
Some sugar, cinnamon for coating the churros

1. Mix the flour with baking powder and set aside. Bring the water, butter, sugar and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Turn off the heat and add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until smooth and form a ball.
2. Cool the dough and transfer to dough to a mixer. Add in the egg one at a time and beat on medium speed until well combined.
3.Transfer the dough into a pastry bag equipped with a 3/8-inch star tip or a decorating tool.
4. Heat some oil for deep frying. When the oil is hot squeeze about 4-5" lengths of dough through the pastry bag into the oil.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-hot and fry until the churros puff and turn to golden brown
6. Drain on paper towels and dredge them in sugar or cinnamon sugar while they are still warm.


Note: Please be careful not to burn yourself when you squeeze the pastry into the hot oil. Do not over fried the churros as they should be crunchy outside and still soft within.
