Crunchy, cinnamon-sugar churro bites paired with a sweet strawberry dipping sauce for an indulgent treat.
Equipment
- star tips
- kitchen scissors
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for dough
- 5 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a small skillet over high heat, combine the water and sugar to make a simple syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Heat a pot of vegetable oil to 350°F for frying the churros.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour with two tablespoons of vegetable oil until the mixture is crumbly. Pour in the cooled simple syrup and stir until a sticky dough forms. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
- Pipe 1-2 inch long sections of the dough into the hot frying oil. Use scissors to cut the dough. Fry the churros for 2-5 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove the churros with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Roll the warm churro bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are completely covered.
- OPTIONAL: For the dipping sauce, dilute the strawberry jam or jelly with 1 tablespoon of water to thin it for dipping, if desired.
- Serve the churros while they are still warm, accompanied by the strawberry sauce and optional chocolate, caramel, or marshmallow dipping sauces. Enjoy!
