Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Churro Dough
In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt, and butter. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: Add Flour to the Mixture
Once the mixture is boiling, remove it from heat and quickly add the all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Step 3: Cool the Dough
Allow the dough to cool for about 10 minutes. Once it is warm, add the baking powder and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Prepare for Piping
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle. Ensure the nozzle is large enough to allow the dough to pass through easily.
Step 5: Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches about 180°C (356°F).
Step 6: Pipe the Churros
Carefully pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length with kitchen scissors.
Step 7: Fry the Churros
Fry the churros in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Step 8: Drain and coat with Sugar
Remove the churros from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll them in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon until fully coated.
Step 9: Serve
Serve the churros warm with your choice of chocolate sauce or any other dipping sauce.
Notes
Note 1
Make sure to maintain the oil temperature while frying to ensure even cooking and prevent the churros from becoming too greasy.
Note 2
For best results, pipe the churros directly into the hot oil instead of on a plate to avoid sticking.
Note 3
You can adjust the sugar and cinnamon coating according to your taste preference.
Note 4
Store any leftover churros in an airtight container for up to 2 days, but they are best enjoyed fresh!
