Churros are golden, crisp strips of deep-fried dough that are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Dusted with a mix of cinnamon and sugar, they have a warm, sweet flavour with a hint of spice. Popular as a street snack in Spain and Latin America, they’re often served with a cup of thick hot chocolate or dipping sauce. Their simple ingredients and comforting texture make churros a timeless treat that is loved across generations.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Mix Flour And Salt

In a bowl, mix the plain flour and salt until combined. Set aside.

Description - Step 2

Add Boiling Water

Pour the boiling-hot water into the flour mixture. Quickly mix with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.

Description - Step 3

Knead The Dough

Once cool enough to handle, knead the dough briefly with your hands until smooth. Mix in 1 tbsp olive oil until incorporated but the dough is still slightly sticky. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes.

Description - Step 4

Heat Oil For Frying

In a deep frying pan, heat 500 ml olive oil until it reaches 180°C. The oil should be about 3 cm high.

Description - Step 5

Pipe Churros Into Hot Oil

Fit a piping bag with a large star tip. Fill the bag with the rested dough. Pipe 10-15 cm lengths of dough directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut off each churro.

Description - Step 6

Fry Until Golden

 

Fry the churros, turning as needed, until they are golden brown and crisp on all sides. Adjust heat if needed to avoid burning.

Description - Step 7

Drain And Coat

Use a slotted spoon to remove the churros from the oil. Place on kitchen paper to drain excess oil. If desired, combine the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish, then roll the warm churros in the mixture to coat.

Description - Step 8

Serve Hot

 

Serve the churros immediately while hot and crisp. They are best enjoyed freshly fried. If desired, serve with thick hot chocolate or dulce de leche for dipping.
