Churros
Delicious churros
Dough:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter (cut into small squares) 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla 4 eggs
Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
This recipe is the same as the eclair recipe but instead of putting it into the oven you fry it.
In a pot, bring the water, butter, salt and sugar to a boil on medium heat. Add the flour all at once and quickly stir it in. The dough will start to form and leave a bit of a skin at the bottom of the pot. This will take about a minute of two.
Take the dough out of the pot and put it into a bowl. Let the dough cool a bit by stiring it with a wooden spoon. When you stop seeing steam you can add the eggs one at a time. You can mix it by hand or with a mixer. Your dough will come out very sticky.
Pour canola oil into a deep skillet fill until it is about 1 inch deep and heat over medium heat. Once the oil is ready pipe the dough into the oil(remember to be very careful when doing this.) Fry until golden brown on each side. Then place them on a paper towel to get the excess oil off.
Now put the cinnamon sugar and churros in a ziplock bag and shake.
