Churros Essentials

Churros Ingredient & Amounts (Yields: ~2 dozen )

Vegetable Oil - enough for 2-inches high in fryer 1 cup (237g) water 2 tbsp (28g) brown sugar 1/2 tsp (3g) salt 1/3 cup (76g) butter 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour 2 eggs (100g) (mix eggs and vanilla in a seperate bowl) 1/2 tsp (2g) vanilla extract 1/4 cup (50g) sugar 1/2 to 1 tsp (1.5-3g) ground cinnamon, depending on taste

Churros Step-By-Step Directions

1) Start by filling your deep fryer, deep frying pan, or Dutch oven with about 2 inches of vegetable oil. Preheat oil to 375 F-190 C. We recommend a candy thermometer to keep track of the temperature as it does fluctuate when frying.



2) In a separate saucepan, combine your water, brown sugar, salt, and butter, letting the ingredients come to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the flour. Once flour is incorporated, mix in the eggs/vanilla mixture, and stir till combined.



3) Let the dough sit for about ten minutes as it's very hot. In the meantime, get a pastry bag fitted with a star-tip, (we used the 1M by Wilton) and turn up your oil to 375 (F) degrees. When the oil is heated, start to pipe about a 3-4 inch long churro into the oil, using a butter knife to disconnect the dough from the star-tip. Only place about 3 to 4 churros in at a time, frying 2 to 3 minutes on each side to get a nice golden brown color.



4) Using a slotted spoon or tongs (or lifting the drain basket if you're using a dedicated deep fryer), remove the churros from the oil and place them onto a paper-toweled plate to soak up some of the oil.

5) After a minute or so, roll the churros in the cinnamon-sugar mix to coat.



6) Last, but the most important step, devour these amazing churros.



Churros are best served warm. If you are looking to serve them at an event or party, you can make the churro dough ahead of time (keep refrigerated) waiting till the last possible moment before the party (or even during the party with a deep frying station) to make the churros. Churros can be paired with chocolate, as well as other dipping sauces, so feel free to try different sauces to go with your delicious fried dough.

Churros Sweet Notes

If you would like to make some creative designs, like our heart, place some wax paper onto a cookie sheet and pipe your creations there. Wax paper tends to move around a lot, so pipe some dough onto the cookie sheet corners and then place wax paper onto the cookie sheet, pressing the wax paper onto the dough, which acts like glue. Place your churro creations into the freezer for 15 minutes and then place in hot oil to fry, following directions above The oil temp is always changing, especially when you place the churros from the freezer into the oil, so we suggest using a thermometer to gauge the temp of your oil, adjusting the heat as needed Recipe adapted from Daisy Martinez

Churros, also known as Spanish doughnuts to some, are fried dough delights. And since we here at Sweet Society love our fried dough and take it very seriously, we tried a few variations with both recipes and techniques, and are sharing the best churros recipe, ingredients, and directions that we were able to put together.
