What Is A Churro
Churros are crunchy, sweet fried pastry. The recipe comes from Spain and Portugal, but is now popular in many countries.
How To Make Churros Recipe
Churros are generally made with flour, water and salt. Most often, they have a sprinkling of sugar or cinnamon sugar. The churros dough is usually piped into long, straight lines, but is sometimes piped into shapes, like circles or hearts. After a quick swim in hot oil, the fried dough is rolled in plain sugar or cinnamon sugar. They taste perfect like that, but there are other delicious ways to serve homemade churros, too. Make a few dipping sauces to serve with them! Some easy ideas include:
Chocolate sauce Dulce de leche or caramel sauce Strawberry sauce Lightly sweetened cream cheese
Are They Just For Dessert
Not only does this easy churro recipe make a delicious dessert, but it’s also a fun idea for breakfast and snacks. If you make them for breakfast, serve them with fruit preserves or peanut butter instead of sweet dipping sauces. They’re perfect with a mug of coffee or hot chocolate.
How Do You Store Them
If you want to make the dough ahead of time, store it in a covered bowl at room temperature. It can also be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Allow the dough to return to room temperature before piping and frying the churros. Homemade churros taste the best right after frying, when they are nice and warm. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight bag or container at room temperature for up to two days. They can also be frozen, but keep in mind that frozen churros will lose their crunch as they thaw out.
What To Serve With Churros
Serve these churros on their own as a snack or as a dessert after a meal. For a delightful afternoon tea, I recommend the following recipes: I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do.
