Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
  • Combine water, butter, brown sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the mixture starts to boil. Remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour until completely incorporated and the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs and vanilla in a small bowl. Add to the dough and stir until completely incorporated. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch open-star tip. (Alternatively, if using a 1-quart sealable plastic bag, fill it with dough and seal almost completely, leaving a small opening for air to escape from the top as you squeeze. Snip off a bottom corner, making a 3/4-inch-wide opening.) Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet to make 12 churros, each 4 inches long.
  • Bake the churros, turning once halfway, until puffed and browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Combine sugar and cinnamon on a shallow plate. Roll the hot churros in the mixture and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.

Baked Churros are so easy to make with no frying! They taste just as good as a fried churro but are healthier and easier to make. We loved dipping them in chocolate ganache!

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup water
1 cup unsalted butter (DIVIDED - ONLY 1/2 CUP GOES IN DOUGH)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line three cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Place water, 1/2 cup butter (sliced into tablespoons), and salt in a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted and stir occasionally until mixture boils.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the flour. A thick paste will form. Make sure to do this off the heat and off the stove, so that the mixture can cool as you stir it.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition (work fast to avoid cooking the eggs). It'll seem like the eggs don't want to mix in but they will.
  • Place the churro batter in a large pastry bag fitted with a star or 1M tip.
  • Pipe churros in desired size and shapes onto cookie sheets. (This recipe makes approximately 60 3-inch long churros or 25 7-inch long churros.
  • Spray the churros with nonstick cooking spray. This will help them brown.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes (depending on size), rotating pans as needed, until churros are baked through and lightly golden.
  • Cool slightly, or until you can handle them.
  • Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter in a medium size bowl. Mix sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Dip the churros in the butter then roll in cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
  • To make chocolate ganache: place 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe cup or bowl. Heat for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
  • To make caramel dipping sauce: place 20 unwrapped caramel squares and 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream in a microwave safe cup or bowl. Heat for 1 minute, then stir until smooth, reheating as needed. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt if desired.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT CHURROS EVERY TIME RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make Perfect Churros Every Time Recipe by Tasty image

Churros, the delectable, deep-fried pastry, are gooey and soft on the inside, with ridges on the outside that gather pockets of cinnamon and sugar and help to give that classic crunch. Here is Tasty's ultimate recipe for the perfect churro!

Provided by Aleya Zenieris

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

canola oil
½ cup water
½ cup milk
½ cup sugar, divided, plus 1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ stick unsalted butter
½ vanilla bean, seeds scraped
1 cup all purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground ceylon cinnamon
6 oz semisweet chocolate chip
½ cup heavy cream
⅛ teaspoon cayenne
¼ teaspoon ground ceylon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Make the chocolate dipping sauce: Add the chocolate chips to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until beginning gently simmer. Add the cayenne and cinnamon, then remove the pot from the heat.
  • Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate, then let sit for 2-3 minutes to soften the chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Make the churros: Fill a 12-inch cast iron skillet with 1½ inches of canola oil. Heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 370°F (188°C). Line a baking sheet with 2 layers of paper towels and set a wire rack on top.
  • Meanwhile, in a small stainless steel saucepan, combine the water, milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, the salt, butter, and vanilla bean seeds and pod. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Once boiling, remove the vanilla bean pod, then add the flour all at once. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together in a ball and no longer sticks to the pan, about 5 minutes.
  • Immediately transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • With the mixer running on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until completely incorporated before adding the next, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. The dough should be smooth and creamy, like a thick custard.
  • Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a 6B open star tip. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the remaining ½ cup sugar and the cinnamon.
  • Working in batches of about 4 churros at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan, pipe the dough into the hot oil in 5-6-inch lengths, using a pair of kitchen scissors to snip off the dough at the end of the piping tip. Cook, turning the churros frequently, until golden brown all over, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack to drain for about 15 seconds, then toss in the cinnamon sugar until well coated. Transfer to a serving dish. Repeat with the remaining churros, letting the oil return to temperature between batches.
  • Serve the churros immediately with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
  • Enjoy!
