Churros

 

 

Ingredients

·       1 cup of water

·       1 cup all-purpose flour

·       3 Tbsp. unsalted butter

·       1Tbsp vegetable oil

·       4 eggs

·       1Tbsp granulated sugar

·       ½ tsp. salt

·       1tsp vanilla extract

·        oil for frying

Dipping

·       ½ cup of granulated sugar

·       1Tsp of ground cinnamon

 

Directions:

·     In a large saucepan, add the water, butter, vegetable oil, 1Tbsp of sugar, vanilla and salt, bring to boil. Turn the heat down to low and add flour, stirring constantly until the mixture turns to a ball, cook this mixture for about one minute(Remember to constantly stir)

·     Add the dough into a bowl and add one egg each time and mixing well after each addition to make sure the egg is well combined. You can use a hand mixer to mix the eggs and dough well.

·     Spoon the dough into the piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

·     Heat oil over medium heat in a deep frying pan and check if oil is hot – by dropping a tiny bit of the dough into the oil and if it comes to the top sizzling with bubbles, then oil is ready for frying.

·     Pipe 5 inch ropes into the hot oil (be very careful) and make sure you only cook a few at a times so you don’t bring down the temperature of the oil. Keep flipping the churros each side until deeply golden brown.

·     Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil and then dip them in the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with your remaining batter and serve right away.
