These are the six ingredients you'll need to make this homemade churro recipe:
· Water: This recipe for churros starts with a cup of water.
· Sugar: White sugar goes into the churro dough and into the cinnamon-sugar topping.
· Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
· Oil: You'll need vegetable oil for the dough and to fry the churros.
· Flour: All-purpose flour gives the churro dough structure.
· Cinnamon: The fried churros are rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture before serving.
Here's a very brief overview of what you can expect when you make churros at home:
1. Boil water, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil. Remove from the heat, then stir in flour.
2. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag and pipe it into strips.
3. Fry the strips in hot oil until they're golden.
4. Drain the churros, then roll in cinnamonsugar.
Tip: Keep the oil temperature consistently between 350 and 375 degrees F (175 and 190 degrees C) as you fry. If it gets too hot, turn off the heat and let the temperature drop down to that range.
