🛒 Ingredients

20 servings

20
  • 375 ml whole milk
  • 125 ml water
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour the milk, water, butter, and salt into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Once boiling, add all the flour at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.

  4. 4

    Heat oil to 180 °C (350 °F) in a deep pan. Pipe 12 cm strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting with scissors.

  5. 5

    Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll the warm churros in the mixture and serve immediately.

💡 Chef's Tip

Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough for extra depth of flavor. Serve alongside a dark chocolate dipping sauce for a truly indulgent treat!
