What is a churros recipe?

Churros are a quintessential street food in Spain and Mexico made from a straightforward dough, deep fried to golden perfection, and rolled in cinnamon sugar. They’re often served with chocolate sauce or caramel for dipping.

How to Create Churros Without a Piping Bag If you do not have a piping bag or a star nozzle, that is perfectly fine!

You can still create a fantastic churro with just your hands:

  1. Let the dough cool off before you’re ready to make the churros, which will make it easier to handle.
  2. Lightly oil your hands and grab small pieces of dough and shape them into long, thin ropes.
  3. Carefully drop them into the hot oil and fry until golden brown as you would normally do.
  4. They may not have the ridges, but they will still taste fabulous!

Pro Tips for the Best Churros Recipe

  1. Maintaining consistency is very important – If your batter is too runny, try mixing in a little more Flour.
  2. Do not overcrowd the pan – Always fry churros in small batches, this will help the oil maintain temperature temperature.
  3. Reaching the correct oil temperature – if the oil is too hot, it will cause your churros to be hard and burned on the outside but still raw on the inside.
  4. Use a thermometer – for the best results always maintain oil temperature at 375°F (190°C).
  5. Want crispy churros- Fry them a little longer, until they reach the golden brown color milestone.
  6. Drain fats before serving – again using a paper towel reduces any grease on churros.
