Summary

Ingredients

• Water – 250 ml
• Butter – 56 g
• Sugar – 31 g
• Salt -1/4 teaspoon.
• Flour -140 g
• Eggs – 1 pc.
• Vanilla extract – 0.5 teaspoon.
• Vegetable oil – for frying

Instructions

1. Sift the flour. Combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan and put it over medium heat until the butter is completely melted and the water begins to boil.
2. Add all the flour and knead the mixture until it is homogeneous without removing from the heat. Heat the mass up for 2-3 minutes slightly evaporating the liquid. The dough should be quite stiff but not sticky.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mass cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and mix it with a mixer until smooth and glossy. Add vanilla.
4. Put the dough into a pastry bag with a 12-15mm star tip. Heat the vegetable oil in a heatproof frying pan. Squeeze out 10-12cm strips of dough directly into the boiling oil and brown the churros.
5. Place the cooked churros on a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
