Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One .25-ounce envelope unflavored gelatin (2 1/2 teaspoons)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 vanilla pods, split and seeds scraped (pods reserved for another use)
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cinnamon sugar
Serving suggestion: hot chocolate

Steps:

  • For the churros: Combine the gelatin with 3/4 cup water in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until it reaches 235 to 240 degrees F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Pour the corn syrup mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, along with the bloomed gelatin and vanilla seeds. Whip on high speed until thick and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Stir together the confectioners' sugar and cornstarch in a bowl and dust the parchment with the mixture. Fill a piping bag fitted with a medium open-star tip with the marshmallow mixture. Pipe twelve 4-inch churros onto the prepared baking sheet. Let set at room temperature, about 4 hours.
  • For the topping: Fill a wide shallow bowl with some water. Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in another wide shallow bowl. Insert a skewer into a churro lengthwise to make a churro pop, then dip in the water and roll in the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with the remaining churros. Serve with hot chocolate.
