Happy 1 year birthday! π I’d be happy to help you make homemade Mexican churros. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
For the Churros:
- 1 cup water
- 2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
For Frying:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For Coating:
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball. Let it cool for a couple of minutes.
- Fry the Churros:
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or pot to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
- Transfer the churro dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors to your desired length. Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches.
- Cook Until Golden Brown:
- Fry the churros until golden brown, turning them as needed for even cooking. This usually takes about 2-4 minutes per batch.
- Coat with Sugar and Cinnamon:
- In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated evenly.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the churros warm. They are delicious on their own or can be paired with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping.
Enjoy your homemade Mexican churros! If you have any leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture, you can sprinkle it over the churros for an extra touch before serving.
