The churro, a beloved pastry in Spanish and Latin American cuisine, is celebrated for its crispy exterior and tender interior. Deep-fried to golden perfection and traditionally coated in a delightful blend of sugar (and often cinnamon), churros offer a unique taste experience that balances the simplicity of dough with the indulgence of a fried treat. While it may not be the healthiest option, a churro provides a moderate amount of calories, making it a suitable occasional indulgence for those with a sweet tooth. Given their sweet and crunchy nature, churros are perfect for dessert but can be enjoyed at any time of day, especially as a snack or paired with hot chocolate or coffee.

Ingredient Preparation

Begin by gathering all necessary ingredients: approximately 30 grams of all-purpose flour, 40 ml of water, vegetable oil for frying (quantity will vary), a pinch of salt, around 5 grams of sugar, and optional cinnamon for an added flavor twist.

Making the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, and a pinch of salt to form a smooth dough. The consistency should be firm enough to hold its shape when piped.

Frying the Churros

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan. Pipe the dough into the hot oil using a star-shaped nozzle to achieve the churro's signature ridged appearance. Fry until golden brown, ensuring each side is evenly cooked.

Coating

Once fried, remove the churros from the oil and immediately roll them in a mixture of sugar (and optionally, cinnamon) to coat evenly. Serve hot for the best taste experience.
