**Churros: A Crispy Spanish Treat**

CHURROS



Churros image

There's nothing like a fresh homemade churro. Easily one of my favorite treats! They're crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside and they have the most irresistable flavor. Plus they're easier to make than you'd think. Always a crowd favorite! Plan on two per person or pipe out longer churros.

CHURROS

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 12 churros

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs, beaten
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 cups milk
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • To make the churro dough: Combine 1 cup of water with the butter or margarine and the salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour. Reduce the heat to low and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute. Remove the dough from the heat and, while stirring constantly, gradually beat the eggs into the dough.
  • To make the chocolate for dunking: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 cup of milk and reserve. Combine the chocolate with the remaining cup of milk in a saucepan. Stirring constantly, melt the chocolate over medium-low heat. Whisk the sugar and the dissolved cornstarch into the melted chocolate mixture. Reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking constantly, until the chocolate is thickened, about 5 minutes. (Add extra cornstarch if it doesn't start to thicken after 5 minutes.) Remove the pan from the heat and whisk until smooth then reserve in a warm place.
  • Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy, high-sided pot over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 360 degrees F. Mix the sugar with the cinnamon on a plate and reserve.
  • Meanwhile, spoon the churro dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Squeeze a 4- inch strip of dough into the hot oil. Repeat, frying 3 or 4 strips at a time. Fry the churros, turning them once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked churros to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • When the churros are just cool enough to handle, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar (in Spain churros are simply rolled in sugar.)
  • Pour the chocolate into individual bowls or cups. Serve the warm churros with the chocolate dip.

HOMEMADE CHURROS WITH CARDAMOM AND CHOCOLATE



Homemade Churros with Cardamom and Chocolate image

I just had to share my favorite dessert of all time, in the hopes of keeping the Valentine's Day fire on: the Mexican churro with cinnamon-cardamom sugar and dark chocolate dip. Plus a fragrant spin with cardamom and star anise in the mix--familiar with a heady hint of exotic! Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, all smothered with a sinfully dark chocolate sauce.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup water
2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ tablespoon salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups grapeseed oil for frying, or as needed
4 tablespoons heavy cream
1 (2 ounce) bar dark chocolate (70%)
2 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon ground coffee beans
8 cardamom pods, seeded and hulls discarded
1 (2 inch) piece cinnamon stick
1 star anise pod
½ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add vegetable oil, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine. Add flour and turn off heat. Stir continuously and vigorously with a wooden spoon until dough balls up and follows your spoon around the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside to cool when dough feels firm and supple.
  • Heat 3/4- to 1 inch of grapeseed oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
  • While oil heats, combine heavy cream, dark chocolate, chocolate-hazelnut spread, butter, sugar, and ground coffee in a pan set over lowest heat. Stir often to ensure even melting, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Grease the inside of a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Insert dough and squeeze it all the way to the bottom of the bag.
  • Insert the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil heating in the pot; if it bubbles steadily, the oil is ready. Carefully squeeze dough out of the bag directly into the hot oil, cutting it off at 6-inch lengths. You can also pipe lengths of dough onto parchment paper and transfer them to the oil by hand. Do not crowd the pot.
  • Fry churros, turning every minute, for 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer fried churros to a dish lined with paper towels.
  • Place cardamom seeds, cinnamon stick, and star anise in a spice grinder and blend to a fine powder. Transfer to a wide dish and add sugar. Mix well to combine.
  • Toss warm churros into the cinnamon-cardamom sugar. Serve alongside a dipping cup of the chocolate sauce.

AIR FRYER CHURROS



Air Fryer Churros image

Who doesn't love churros? They're a delicious cinnamon-sugar treat, and making them in an air fryer takes them from a guilty treat into a sweet treat. After over 7 experiments, I do NOT recommend using a parchment paper liner. I do NOT recommend adding the cinnamon sugar to the dough.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, fresh eggs, and good quality flour.
  • Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the churros. If the oil is too cold, the churros will not cook evenly. If the oil is too hot, the churros will burn.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the churros. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the churros will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the churros on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the churros immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Churros are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
