Churros are a delectable treat that can be enjoyed by everyone, including those with dietary restrictions. These crispy, cinnamon sugar-coated delights are made without the use of eggs, yet they retain their irresistible flavor and texture.
To make eggless churros, you start by preparing a simple dough with all-purpose flour, water, vegetable oil, sugar, salt, and optionally, vanilla extract. The dough is cooked on the stovetop until smooth and slightly sticky. Then, it is transferred to a piping bag and piped directly into hot oil for frying.
Once the churro turn golden brown and crispy, they are removed from the oil and rolled in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. The result is a heavenly combination of crispy exteriors and soft interiors, with a sweet and aromatic cinnamon coating.
Eggless churro can be served as a delightful snack or dessert. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with various dipping sauces like chocolate or dulce de leche. These eggless churro are a fantastic treat for anyone looking to indulge in a classic favorite without the need for eggs. In this step-by-step recipe, I’ll guide you through the process of making these delicious cinnamon sugar-coated snacks from scratch. Let’s get started!
Ingredients Of Churros Recipe:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Step By Step Instructions Of Churros Recipe:
Step 1: Prepare the Churro Dough
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine water, vegetable oil, sugar, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (if using).
Step 2: Add Flour
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the saucepan while stirring continuously. The dough will begin to come together as you mix. Once all the flour is incorporated and a dough forms, return the saucepan to low heat.
Step 3: Cook the Dough
Continue to stir the dough over low heat for about 1-2 minutes. This will help to cook the flour and remove any raw taste. The dough should become smooth and slightly sticky.
Step 4: Prepare for Frying
Transfer the cooked dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a large Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off. Set aside.
Step 5: Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. You will need enough oil to submerge the churros.
Step 6: Pipe the Churros
Test the oil’s readiness by dropping a small piece of dough into the hot oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready. Now, pipe the churro dough directly into the hot oil, cutting the dough with scissors to your desired length.
Step 7: Fry the Churros
Fry the churro in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the churro from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
In a shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy!
Your delicious eggless churros are now ready to be served! These scrumptious treats are best enjoyed while they are still warm and crispy. You can serve them with a side of chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping.
Tips Of Making Eggless Churros:
- Make sure the oil is hot enough to fry the churros but not too hot to burn them. Adjust the heat accordingly during frying.
- If you prefer a thicker churro, you can use a smaller star tip for piping.
- To make the churros extra crunchy, you can double fry them. Fry the churros once and then let them cool for a few minutes before frying them again for a shorter duration.
Enjoy your homemade eggless churro and share this delightful treat with family and friends!
