Time 40m

Yield 64 churros

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

3 cups vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
One 16-ounce tube ready-to-bake buttermilk biscuit dough
One 15-ounce jar fudge sauce, warmed slightly, for dipping

Steps:

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches about 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Separate the biscuits, then gently press and elongate into 1/3-inch-thick rectangles. Cut each rectangle into 1/4-inch slices--you should get about 8 long slices per biscuit. Twist the ends of each slice in opposite directions 4 times.
Fry the churros in batches, stirring and flipping as needed, about 30 seconds per batch.
Remove the churros to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain, then toss in the cinnamon sugar.
Serve warm with the fudge sauce on the side.

These Mexican fritters are very common at fairs. In my border hometown, the line at this stand is always overwhelming. People wait hours in line just to get a taste of these churros. I have run across several recipes but this is the best one by far.

2 quarts oil for frying

Tips:

Use a piping bag with a star tip to create the churros shape. This will give them the classic ridged look.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner cut off.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the churros. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the churros. Give them enough space to cook evenly.
Fry the churros until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain the churros on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the churros warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Cheater churros are a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic Spanish treat. They are perfect for a party or a snack and can be made with just a few simple ingredients. So next time you're craving churros, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
