Churros (Spain Food Recipes)

Written By Recipe Coordinator

Churros

Churros are a fried-dough pastry that originated in Spain. This substantial Spanish doughnut gets its name due to its shape, which resembles the horns of the Churro sheep in Castile, Spain. This exciting pastry recipe will come real close to duplicating the Churros you can buy anywhere in Madrid and in many other cities in Spain.

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup butter

1 cup white flour

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

1. In deep frying pan over medium high heat, preheat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375*F.

2. In medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, brown sugar, salt and butter and heat until boiling, about 10 to 12 minutes.

3. Remove from heat and add flour, stirring with large wooden spoon until well blended.

4. In bowl, mix eggs and vanilla extract, then stir into flour mixture until completely incorporated.

5. Spoon dough into cake decorating bag with large star tip. Carefully squeeze dough into hot oil in 4-inch strips, being careful not to splash oil.

6. Fry dough in small batches (about 6 at a time), about 1 to 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.

7. Remove churros from hot oil with slotted spoon and drain on paper towel–lined plate.

8. In large zip-top bag or paper bag, combine sugar and cinnamon, then add churros to bag and shake to cover. Serve warm.

Makes about 2 dozen churros.
