Ingredients

Scale

Churro Dough

  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup Nutella

Instructions

  1. Prepare Nutella Dip: Place the Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for about 30 seconds or until it becomes pourable. Set aside to keep warm for serving.
  2. Make the Dough Base: In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, salt, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter fully melts and ingredients are well combined.
  3. Add Flour: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a smooth, cohesive dough without lumps.
  4. Incorporate Eggs: Let the dough cool for about 5 minutes to avoid cooking the eggs. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough is glossy and smooth.
  5. Heat Oil: In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accurate temperature control to ensure even frying.
  6. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: Combine ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a bowl and mix well. Set aside for coating the churro bites.
  7. Pipe and Fry Churro Bites: Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe the dough into 4-6 inch strips directly into the hot oil. Fry for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Drain and Coat: Remove the churro bites from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. While still warm, roll them generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture for a sweet, crunchy exterior.
  9. Serve: Serve the warm churro bites alongside the melted Nutella dip for an irresistible treat.

Notes

  • Use a star tip when piping dough to create the classic churro ridges which crispen nicely in the oil.
  • Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F and 360°F to avoid greasy churros or burnt exterior.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute unsalted butter with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free chocolate spread instead of Nutella.
  • Be cautious when frying; do not overcrowd the pot as it lowers oil temperature and affects texture.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture as churros lose crispiness over time.
