Ingredients

250 ml Drinking water
100 g Butter
150 g All-purpose flour
1 pinch Salt
2 tbsp Egg
Oil
for frying
4 tbsp Granulated sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

Dough

Pour water into a pot, add butter and a pinch of salt. When it starts to boil, add flour and mix until the dough comes off the sides of the pot. Then let it cool slightly and mix in the eggs one by one.

Shaping

Fill the dough into a pastry bag with a wide star tip. Squeeze longer sticks onto parchment paper or directly into hot oil.

Frying

Fry in hot oil (about 170°C) until golden brown - about 2-3 minutes on each side. Place the finished churros on paper to drain excess oil.

Finishing

Coat the still warm churros in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Serve with warm chocolate sauce or Nutella.

TIP

For a perfect chocolate sauce, mix 100g of chocolate with 50ml of cream and a small spoonful of honey. You can also add a pinch of chili - it will create a contrast like in authentic Spanish cuisine.
