Ingredients
Scale
Churros Ingredients:
Dough Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Frying Ingredients:
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)
Dipping Sauce (Optional):
- 1 cup chocolate sauce or dulce de leche
Instructions
- Pour water, butter, and salt into a medium saucepan, heating until the mixture reaches a rolling boil and butter completely melts.
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in flour, mixing vigorously until the dough forms a smooth, unified ball that pulls away from the pan’s sides.
- Allow the dough to cool for 5-7 minutes, then incorporate eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition to create a glossy, elastic consistency.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star-tipped nozzle, ensuring a tight seal.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F, maintaining a consistent temperature for even frying.
- Carefully pipe 4-inch churro strips directly into the hot oil, using scissors or a sharp knife to cut the dough from the piping tip.
- Fry churros for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating to achieve a golden-brown exterior and crispy texture.
- Remove churros with a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain on paper towels.
- Immediately roll the warm churros in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, ensuring complete coverage.
- Serve hot with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping, creating an authentic Disney-style treat.
Notes
- Use a candy thermometer to precisely monitor oil temperature, ensuring consistent golden-brown churros without burning.
- Pipe dough smoothly and steadily for uniform churro shapes, practicing steady hand movements for perfect Disney-style results.
- Let dough cool completely before adding eggs to prevent scrambling and maintain a silky, elastic texture.
- Store leftover churros in an airtight container and reheat in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
