Ingredients
Churro Bites Dough
- 1 cup water Use filtered water for the best flavor.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter Room temperature for easy mixing; I love using Kerrygold for its rich flavor.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour For best results, use a high-quality brand like King Arthur.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla for an authentic taste.
- 3 pieces eggs Let them sit at room temperature for optimal blending.
Coating and Dipping
- 1 cup granulated sugar I prefer using organic sugar for its natural sweetness.
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon This adds the cozy cinnamon taste we all love!
- Nutella to taste Nutella for dipping Or try other chocolate spreads for an exciting twist!
- oil for frying Oil for frying High smoke point oils like canola are ideal; avoid olive oil as it burns quickly.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Bring to a boil.
- Stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix until all the ingredients come together to form a dough ball.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
- Add 3 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Frying
- In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil to 375°F (190°C).
- Fill a pastry bag with your churro dough. Pipe small circles of dough into the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip them with a slotted spoon if needed.
- Drain on paper towels, then mix 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon in a bowl. Coat your churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serving
- Serve these warm delights with a generous side of Nutella for dipping.
Notes
Store any uneaten churro bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. They are best enjoyed fresh but can also be kept in the fridge for another day if you have leftovers!
