Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 4 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- 1 cup (250 ml) water
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 cup (150 g) plain flour
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 2 eggs
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- Cinnamon sugar: ½ cup caster sugar mixed with 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Dulce de leche or chocolate sauce, to serve
Method
- Bring the water, butter and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Take off the heat, add the flour and salt all at once, and beat until a smooth ball forms and pulls away from the sides.
- Cool 5 minutes, then beat in the eggs one at a time until the dough is smooth and glossy.
- Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle. Pipe 10 cm lengths straight into oil at 175°C, snipping with scissors. Fry 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden.
- Drain briefly, then roll in the cinnamon sugar while still hot.
- Serve at once with dulce de leche or chocolate sauce. Tip: the oil temperature is everything — too cool and the churros soak up oil and go greasy, too hot and they brown outside while the middle stays raw — and roll them in the sugar while they are hot, or it will not stick.
