Churros

My hubby and I were watching The Legend is Born - IP Man movie the other day.  There’s a scene when the actress was frying a bread stick and suddenly I thought of Churros.  So I searched for the recipe and found two versions of ingredients.  Others had it with eggs and butter.  Well, I chose the simple ingredient and procedure by All Recipes.  For this recipe, I used a biscuit pump like this one…



I tried it today for our snack.  Here’s my version. . .

Ingredients:  1 cup water; 2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 2 tablespoons cooking oil; 1 cup flour; cooking oil for deep fry; 3 tablespoons white sugar; and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon (adjust according to preference).

Procedure:

1. In a small plate, combine sugar and ground cinnamon.  Set aside.
2. In a non stick sauce pan over medium heat, mix water, sugar, salt and cooking oil.  Bring to boil and turn off heat.
3. Add the flour into the boiling water mixture and stir until it forms a ball.
4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan, make it very hot.
5. While waiting for the oil, I put the mixture inside the biscuit pump.  Pipe the mixture using biscuit pump (desired length). Instead of directly piping it into the hot oil, place it on the plate with glad paper.  Then fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
6. Roll the churros in the sugar and cinnamon mixture. 

Result: It was crunchy and very good! The fried bread itself without sugar and cinnamon mixture tasted good already.   The recipe will satisfy 2 to 3 persons.  Serve with coffee or  hot chocolate drink.  Best with chocolate dip.  Serve For breakfast or snacks.  Try it and enjoy!!:)
