Method

Step 1

Place water, butter, salt and sugar into a small saucepan. Bring to the boil, making sure the butter has melted.

Step 2

Remove from the heat. Add flour and vigorously beat with a wooden spoon until mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms into a ball.

Step 3

Using a piping bag with a star nozzle, fill the bag with the warm churro mixture.

Step 4

Pipe lengths of churro dough 7-8cm long onto a tray lined with baking paper. Place in the freezer until firm enough to lift off without breaking them.

Step 5

Pour oil into a saucepan or deep fryer, about 8cm deep and heat to 180°C. Drop churros into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden and crispy.

Step 6

Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. In a bowl, Toss together sugar and Gregg's Ground Cinnamon. Toss churros in the cinnamon sugar while they are still hot. Serve warm.

Tips

If you haven't got a thermometer, a good gauge is to drop a cube of bread into the hot oil. It will take 45 -60 secs to turn golden.

It is important to have the correct oil temperature. Too hot and the churros will brown before they cook on the inside. Too cold and the churros will absorb too much oil and be greasy.

Churros can be frozen completely on the tray. Once frozen pack into sealable plastic bags. You can cook from frozen in the hot oil.

Serve churros with warm chocolate or salted caramel sauce.
