Lately my husband and I have been craving the famous Mexican sweet treat called Churros. While we were web surfing one night, we saw a video of a lady making them. She made it look so easy, and I thought to myself, “Surely, I can do that!”
Well fast forward to today. I went to my local grocery store to get the supplies. I didn’t want to tackle Walmart so I went to Food Lion. They didn’t have the piping bags with the tips so my poor little Churros were just not going have their signature ridges. I took what I could get because I wasn’t going to go to more places with this Coronavirus mess going on. I was still excited to make magic happen. Haha.
My Churros were not perfect, BUT they were pretty good so I’ll share my step by step process with you. I’ll share my thoughts on how I could have improved them as well so this recipe should be pretty good.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 quart of oil
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Lechera (optional)
First, I got a small pan and mixed the cup of water, 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Stir frequently until it comes to a boil. Then once it comes to a boil, remove the pan from the heat. Then add the cup of flour. Stir until it forms a dough ball.
Then pour one quart of oil into a semi-deep pan. Then put you dough into a piping bag (preferably one that has a tip to give the Churros ridges). Once the oil is hot, start squeezing the dough out of the piping bag and into the oil. Be careful for popping oil! Also, using scissors to cut the dough while piping is helpful! Then use tongs to help move them onto a plate with paper towels for soaking up the oil.
After they cool off, mix some cinnamon and sugar into a plate and roll the Churros in the mixture. Then add some lechera on top!
I hope you try them too! Next time I will know exactly what to do! I hope you can learn from my mistakes and get a better outcome. Enjoy. 😊

These look really yummy!
Thank you! They didn’t look like original Churros, but the taste was spot on! 😊
Four eggs mixed thoroughly into the dough , one at a time, would be perfect. Pipe it into the pan , 360’ F, with a cut out corner on a quart freezer bag into your preferred shape. Swirl in sugar and cinnamon. Hola.
Thanks! I’ll have to give that a try!
They look delicious. Good for you!
I love churros! Thanks for the recipe! I’ll be sure to try it out one of these days. 🙂
