When I was still young, my mom used to take to this Spanish restaurant and she would order only two things: Paella Valenciana and Churros con Chocolate. Now we rarely do we go to that restaurant since it’s so far from our new place, but if we are near the area we never fail to go to that restaurant and order the same food.
Lately, I’ve been craving for some Churros and lo and behold I found a recipe. And guess what? They are so scrumptious! Having the first bite just took me back to the very first time I tried Churros. Please try and make one.
Churro Tots
What you’ll need:
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of water
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 1/4 cup of white sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
What to prep for:
* Take out your dry ingredients and measuring cups
* And don’t forget your wet ingredients
How to do it:
1. In a saucepan, melt your butter. Once the butter is melted, add the water and bring it to a boil. Remove from heat once it boils.
2. In a mixing bowl pour the butter water mixture, half of the required all-purpose flour and all of the baking soda. Mix well the add the other half of the all-purpose flour then mix well.
3. Pour the vanilla and one egg at a time to the dough. Mix! Mix! Mix! then place the dough in the pastry bag.
4. Take out your deep fryer, pour in the canola oil then start plopping the dough from your pastry bag. Cook until golden brown.
5. Remove your churro tots from the fryer and place them on a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
6. On a deep place tupperware, mix the white sugar and ground cinnamon. Place the churro tots in there and shake! shake! shake! while they’re stil warm.
Best enjoyed with a cup of coffee or hot choco. 🙂
Notes on this recipe:
* To make sure you’re able to mix the dough really really well, use a hand/stand mixer so you’ll achieve a smooth texture for your dough.
* If you do not have a deep fryer, you can use a deep casserole.
