Homemade Churros

Not only did Noah and I make a Southwestern chicken casserole and guacamole, Southwestern Chicken and Rice but we also made churros, for something sweet to eat after. They weren’t picture perfect, but they sure tasted good, and that is really all that matters. 🙂

They were also good with ice cream, as Larry demonstrated later. Again, I had some extra dough already made, and just remade some more churros later.

These are very simple to make, with minimal ingredients.

Churros

1 cup water

3 TBSP butter

2 TBSP brown sugar

¼ tsp salt

1 ¼ cups flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

Vegetable oil for frying

Cinnamon sugar for rolling the churros in immediately after removing from the oil.

Combine the flour and cinnamon together and mix well.

Combine the water, butter, brown sugar and salt in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil.  Immediately add the flour mixture and the vanilla and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until it all pulls away from the sides of the pan.  Let it cool slightly.

Slightly beat the eggs, and add one at a time, beating in between each addition.  This is a dough very similar to a pate a choux or éclair dough.

Spoon the dough into a pastry bag with a plain round tip (or no tip).

Bring the oil to 350*F, then carefully pipe out the dough into strips, about 5 inches long.  Fry the dough for about 2 minutes per side, or until completely golden brown.  Do not over crowd the frying pan. 

Noah got a little creative with his churros, and that’s perfectly OK. Cooking is all about having fun in the kitchen.

After removing the fried strips, roll into the sugar and cinnamon combination and thoroughly coat the churro. 

These are best when eaten hot.  So eat immediately, but be careful, they will be hot.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Have fun and be creative. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
