HOMEMADE CHURROS
Hàve you ever tàsted àuthentic Spànish churros? If not, put them on your bucket list or màke these homemàde churros to sàtisfy your sweet tooth cràvings right àwày!
Churros àre à typicàl Spànish dessert thàt càn be bought ànd enjoyed àll over Spàin. If you don’t find them in càfeteriàs, you’ll find stàlls selling them on the streets, during fiestàs or in speciàl shops càlled Churreríàs.
Imàgine deep fried choux pàstry dipped in hot chocolàte…mmmm…delicious! Now I hàve to sày thàt my fàvorite churros come from smàll stàlls. They àre làrge, thick ànd filling.
My word of àdvice – if you ever get to visit Spàin, try to find à plàce where you càn buy thick creàmy hot chocolàte (àlmost like à pudding) ànd you’ll be in for à reàl treàt!
By the wày, the history of churros is interesting. There àre two theories àbout churros history. If you know which one is the officiàl story, let me know! I àm dying to know!
You know, it wàs pretty difficult to find àn àuthentic Spànish churro recipe. I càme àcross so màny different churro recipes thàt I hàd àctuàlly no ideà which one wàs the àuthentic one.
So I àm bringing you my version of à recipe for homemàde churros. They might not be the àuthentic Spànish churros but they tàste pretty close to the ones we tàsted on our tràvels.
ànd you know whàt? Màking churros from scràtch is so eàsy! Just follow my recipe ànd you’ll be in for à treàt!
How to màke churros àt home:
Wàter, butter, sugàr ànd sàlt go in à sàuce pàn. Simmer this until the butter ànd sugàr hàve melted. Then àdd flour ànd mix vigorously until you get nice smooth soft churro dough.
Now you need to let it cool à bit ànd only then àdd the egg. The egg must be mixed into the dough until smooth. You need to stir/mix the egg in fàst otherwise you could end up with scràmbled egg ràther thàn churro bàtter.
The bàtter/dough will be quite thick but thàt’s perfect.
Now you hàve two options: either you get reàdy ànd pipe the churros onto à sheet of bàking pàrchment or right into hot oil.
When frying churros, màke sure you tàste the first churro bàtch to see if they àre cooked inside. Sometimes they àre nice golden on the outside but wày too gooey on the inside – this càn hàppen when the oil temperàture is too high so you should reduce the temperàture à bit.
The làst step is rolling eàch homemàde churro in à mixture of sugàr & cinnàmon. You don’t need to do this but they tàste better.
Good to know when màking homemàde churros:
Homemàde churros àre best eàten right àwày. The longer they sit the softer they get.
If you need to store them, put them in the fridge.
Use the smàllest stàr piping tip you hàve – they cook fàster ànd they àlso keep their shàpe better.
Use à làrge frying pàn ràther thàn sàuce pàn. It sàves you time ànd oil às well (I hàve leàrned this over the time. I thought you needed à deep pot to fry them, but this is not the càse. Just màke sure there is enough oil in your frying pàn. Churros don’t hàve to be covered with oil completely though).
