Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 to 2 quarts olive (not extra-virgin) or vegetable oil for frying
1 (1-inch-wide) strip orange or lemon peel
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
Granulated sugar for sprinkling
Special Equipment
a metal or plastic churrera fitted with a 3/4-inch star opening, and a pair of chopsticks

Steps:

  • Prepare frying oil:
  • Heat 2 inches oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven or a wide 4-inch-deep heavy pot over high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 400°F (oil will be just beginning to smoke). Drop in citrus peel (oil will bubble vigorously) and leave in oil until browned, about 1 minute. Remove with tongs.
  • Prepare dough:
  • While oil is heating, bring water with salt to a boil, covered, in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil and remove from heat. Immediately add flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until flour and water are combined well (mixture will be stiff and not very smooth). Fill churrera with some hot dough and wrap a kitchen towel around churrera canister to protect your hands.
  • Make churros:
  • Turn screw handle of churrera until dough emerges from star opening. Holding opening about 2 inches above oil, turn handle to squeeze dough into oil in a continuous stream, making a spiral shape. (Spirals take practice; have a helper coax dough into a spiral in oil with a chopstick, keeping dough away from side of pot. For beginners, small coils or any kind of curvy shape is fine.) Stop when dough stream breaks naturally or pot is full.
  • Cook until underside is golden, about 1 1/2 minutes, and turn over with chopsticks. Then cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Transfer churro with chopsticks to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Make more churros in same manner, returning oil to 400°F between batches.
  • Break churros into pieces if desired and serve immediately.

QUICK AND EASY CHURROS



Quick and Easy Churros image

Nothing beats an authentic, off the street cart churro. I tried making authentic churros at home. Although they came out alright, they were a hassle. One day I had a can of flaky biscuits that were about to expire and needed to fit it into my Mexican brunch. They don't look exactly like a churro, but they taste very close to it and are far less messy to make. Hope you enjoy them.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 10-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (16 ounce) can refrigerated biscuits (flaky)
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
12 ounces vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large deep fryer until the temperature registers 350 degrees.
  • Roll biscuits into 1/4 inch thin dough snakes. Rolling the flaky biscuit dough on its side will simulate the ridges seen on churros when deep fried. Cut dough snakes in half if they are too long to fit without bending into your fryer.
  • Drop each dough snake into a paper bag filled with only the sugar (do not add the cinnamon yet) and shake to coat. The sugar will melt on the churro as it fries to make it sticky so the final sugar/cinnamon mixture adheres better.
  • Shake off excess sugar.
  • Fry each dough snake until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  • Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack. Do not drain on paper towels. The sticky sugar will stick to it.
  • Once all the churros have been fried, add the cinnamon to the remaining sugar in the paper bag and shake to mix. Add more sugar if needed.
  • Drop each cooked churro into the bag and shake to coat.
  • Shake off excess sugar mixture and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your churros.
  • Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying. If the oil is not hot enough, your churros will not cook evenly and will be greasy.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. If you add too many churros to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly and will stick together.
  • Cook your churros until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
  • Drain your churros on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve your churros with your favorite dipping sauce. Churros are traditionally served with a chocolate sauce, but you can also serve them with caramel sauce, vanilla sauce, or even just a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar.

Conclusion:

Churros are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make churros that are just as good as the ones you get at your favorite restaurant. So next time you are in the mood for a sweet snack, give churros a try!
