Churros

A churro is a fried dough pastry. Churros are popular in Mexican, Spain, France, Philippines, Portugal, and US.
They are normally eaten for breakfast dipped in hot chocolate , but you can just serve them as dessert.

Preparation time : one hour
Makes : 40

Ingredients :

Water : 1 cup
Brown sugar : 2Tbsp
Salt : 1/2 tsp
Butter : 1/3 cup
White flour : 1 cup
Eggs : 2
Vanilla extract : 1/2 tsp
Sugar : 1/2 cup
Ground Cinnamon : 1tsp

Method :

Take a bowl mix 1/2 cup of sugar with ground cinnamon and set aside.

In a pan add water, brown sugar, salt, and butter.
Heat it to a good boil.
Remove from the heat and add the flour.
Stir in the flour and mix it in until well blended.

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and vanilla together and then add this mixture to the flour mixture.
(Flour mixture should not be very hot to mix in eggs, it should just be warm to add in eggs or else you will end up in scrambled eggs in mixture)
Stir until well blended and all the egg is completely mixed in.

Heat oil in a pan. (Oil should be hot such that when you drop in your batter, it should come up immediately)
If your oil is not hot enough you will end up in a soggy churro .
Fill your tool with the dough.

Squeeze some dough into the oil about 4 inches long. ( I made it like rounds and i cut them into pieces)
Cook them till it is golden brown in color.
Turn it and cook it other side also.

Remove the churros with the slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
While still warm, roll each churro into the dish which contained sugar and cinnamon, until coated.

You could serve this churro recipe with Mexican hot chocolate topped with whipped cream.
Enjoy your dish :)
