Quick and easy to prepare, they bring the charm of a Spanish café straight to your kitchen.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt, and butter. Heat over medium until the butter melts and the mixture begins to simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, add the flour, and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Once the dough has cooled, add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough becomes smooth and slightly sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 375°F (190°C). Pipe 4-5 inch (10-12 cm) strips of dough directly into the oil, cutting with scissors. Fry in small batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll the warm churros in the mixture until fully coated.
- Serve immediately with hot chocolate or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
