  • Easy Authentic Churros (Step by Step Recipe + VIDEO)

    If you're looking to indulge your sweet tooth with a delightful treat, these easy authentic churros are the perfect choice. With their crispy exterior and soft, doughy centre, churros are a beloved Spanish delicacy that can be enjoyed at any time of day.

    Ingredients:

    • 250ml water
    • 50g unsalted butter
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • A pinch of salt
    • 150g plain flour
    • 2 large eggs
    • Cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling)
    • Oil (for frying)

    Method:

    1. Prepare the Dough: In a saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt, bringing it to a gentle boil. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and stir in the flour until a smooth dough forms.

    2. Add the Eggs: Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding the eggs, one at a time. Beat well until the dough is smooth and glossy.

    3. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat oil to 180°C (350°F). To test, drop in a small piece of dough; if it bubbles and rises, the oil is ready.

    4. Shape the Churros: Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe long strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting them off with scissors.

    5. Fry and Coat: Fry the churros for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain. While still warm, roll them in cinnamon sugar for an irresistible finish.
