How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making these churros!

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour until a dough forms. Let it cool for a few minutes.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the dough, mixing until smooth and well combined.
4. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
5. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors.
6. Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7. While still warm, roll the churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
8. Serve warm with a scoop of dulce de leche ice cream on top!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your churros turn out perfectly:

• Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying; otherwise, the churros will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature.
• For an extra touch, drizzle some chocolate sauce over the churros before serving!
• If you’re short on time, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to fry.

How to Serve

These churros are best served warm, right out of the fryer! Here are some serving suggestions:

• Top with a generous scoop of dulce de leche ice cream.
• Serve with a side of chocolate sauce for dipping.
• Pair with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate for a cozy dessert experience.
• For a fun twist, try adding fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas on the side.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to enjoy these churros later, here’s how to store them:

• Churros can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• For longer storage, freeze the churros in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
• To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warm and crispy again.
