Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Cooking oil (for frying) Use enough to fully submerge churro bites
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine the water and butter. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts completely.
- Once boiling, swiftly stir in the dry ingredients until well combined. Allow this mixture to cool for about 5 minutes.
- After cooling, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
Cooking
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat; you want enough oil to fully submerge the churro bites.
- Use a piping bag fitted with a large star tip to pipe small, bite-sized pieces of the batter directly into the hot oil.
- Fry them until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Make sure to fry in small batches for even cooking.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the churro bites from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar with cinnamon. While the churro bites are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- To finish, pipe or drizzle your favorite filling into the center of each bite.
