Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 120 ml water Use lukewarm water for optimal dough consistency.
  • 57 g unsalted butter Unsalted butter allows you to control the overall saltiness.
  • 1.5 g salt A small amount of salt balances the sweetness.
  • 60 g all-purpose flour Measure accurately to achieve the correct dough texture.
  • 2 large eggs Add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
  • 50 g granulated sugar For coating the churro bites after baking.
  • 2 g ground cinnamon Combine with sugar for the classic churro coating.

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Piping Bag
  • Large star tip
  • Shallow Dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  4. Let the dough cool for a few minutes.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and pipeable.
  6. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  7. Pipe small bite-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. While the churro bites are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating by combining granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  10. Once the churro bites are baked, immediately toss them in the cinnamon sugar coating until well coated.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

These churro bites are best served immediately while still warm. For an extra treat, serve with a side of chocolate dipping sauce or dulce de leche.
