Churros Recipe

Originally from Spain, the churros recipe was made by mountain shephards, centuries ago. With no access to bakeries, there was a need for a dessert that could be made in the open air, over a fire, rather than oven-baked. The shepherds were herding churra sheep, which is how the name originated. The fritters started out the size of a bread stick but they have grown, and also travelled to Latin American countries. They have evolved, including adding rich fillings.

Ingredients

1 cup flour

4 eggs, well beaten

1/4 cup butter

¼ cup cinnamon sugar mix

1 teaspoon sugar

pinch of salt

Canola oil as needed

Instructions
Heat the butter and dissolve the sugar, while constantly stirring. Over low heat, add in the flour, milk, sugar and salt. Continue to stir until butter is melted and ingredients are dissolved. Cool completely.Add in the eggs and mix well.

Heat the canola oil (approximately 2 inches deep) in a non-stick fry pan . Pour the batter into the pastry bag. When the oil is hot , pipe in 6 inch churros. Allow enough space so they don’t stick together. Fry each side until golden brown. Fry in batches. Remove churros and rest on a paper towel.Roll individually in cinnamon sugar mix. They are best if eaten, while still warm.

In southern Spain, the churros are typically made in a long spiral, sausage style, and then cut into pieces. In Cuba, they may be filled with local fruit, while in Mexico dulce de leche is a common filling.
