Homemade Churro Recipe

A detailed recipe for homemade churros.

Summary

Ingredients

• Butter – 0.5 tablespoon.
• Water -1 tablespoon.
• Salt – 0.25 teaspoon.
• Limes (zest) – 2 pcs.
• Whole wheat flour -1 tablespoon.
• Eggs – 3 pcs.
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Sugar – 0.5 tablespoon.
• Cinnamon – 2 teaspoon.

Instructions

1. Melt the butter with the water, salt, and zest of 1 lime in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then add the flour slowly. Remove the mass from the heat and continue mixing until the mixture turns out into a ball and stops sticking to the edges of the saucepan.
3. Add the eggs slowly one by one.
4. Put the dough into a piping bag with a large star tip and place it into the fridge for 15 minutes.
5. Pour 2/3 of the vegetable oil into a large saucepan and heat it up to 180°C.
6. Take the dough out of the fridge and slowly squeeze out long strips (8 cm long) of the dough into the oil.
7. Brown them in batches for 5-6 minutes flipping over in the middle of cooking.
8. Place the churros on a paper towel to absorb the excess fat.
9. Put sugar, cinnamon, and the remaining zest into a paper bag. When the churros cool down a bit, place them into the bag and, stirring and shaking it, cover them with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve them warm.
