These crispy churro snacks are quick and easy fried dough treats coated in a sweet cinnamon sugar blend, perfect for a delightful dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Frying

  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and stir in flour quickly until mixture forms a ball.
  2. Incorporate Egg: Transfer dough to a bowl and let it cool slightly. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  3. Heat Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot to about 2 inches deep and heat to 350°F (175°C) for frying.
  4. Form Dough Pieces: Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip or two spoons, carefully drop small pieces or strips of dough into the hot oil.
  5. Fry Dough: Fry the dough pieces until golden and crisp on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll the fried churro snacks in the cinnamon sugar coating while still warm until evenly coated.
  7. Serve: Serve warm as a delicious sweet snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure oil temperature is consistent for even frying.
  • You can pipe churro dough into longer strips if preferred.
  • Churro snacks are best enjoyed fresh and warm for the crispiest texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day; reheat to regain crispness.
  • Consider serving with chocolate or caramel dipping sauce for extra indulgence.
