Are you worried about how to achieve the perfect shape of the churros? We solve it for you, find out in the step by step:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of water (250 ml)

• 1 cup of flour (120 g)

• 1 pinch of salt

• 20 gr. of butter

• Sunflower oil

• 200 g of sugar
  
  

For the dough

1. Put water to heat in a pot, add butter and a little salt and wait for it to melt.

2. When the water boils, add the flour without stopping stirring with a wooden spoon until it is a uniform dough and does not stick to the pot (If you see the dough is very hard, you can add a little more water).

3. Put the churros dough in a bowl, cover it and let it rest at room temperature until it hardens.

Fry the churros

1. The crucial moment, fry the churros. To make this simpler, you can do it with a churro maker, available on our website with worldwide shipping, and they will be in the perfect shape.

Using it is very easy, you just have to place the dough inside the steakhouse and then press so that the dough comes out. Put the churros mass in the churrera and press so that there are no air bubbles.

2. Heat oil in a pot and when the oil is hot enough, add the churros by pressing the churrera.

3. Fry the churros in a small amount, since if you cook many at the same time the oil will cool down and they will not be perfect. Turn them little by little so that they cook the same on all sides and let them fry until golden brown.

Are the churros exploding? How to avoid it?

It can happen that the churros explode when frying them and it happens mainly because there may have been air left in the dough. That is why it is important that there are no voids or lumps left inside the dough.

Ready to eat

When they are ready to remove, transfer the churros to a dish with absorbent paper to remove excess fat.

Sprinkle the churros with a little sugar and serve them at the moment so that they stay crispy.
