Step 1

In a saucepan, add ½ cup of milk, ½ cup of water and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium flame until it starts to boil.

Step 2

Sift 1 cup of flour into a small bowl; then, add the flour to the saucepan with the milk and water. Cook the flour in the saucepan for one and a half minutes over medium heat.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat, place the dough in a bowl and then add an egg white to the mixture. Keep stirring. You can knead the dough with your hands but be careful not to burn yourself.

Step 4

Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Pour plenty of mild olive oil (> 200 ml) in a 9 inch frying pan and put it over medium heat for 8/9 minutes until it reaches  356°F ( 180°C ).

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, load the dough into a churro maker. Then, pipe lines about 4″ long.

Step 7

Fry the churros for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Total time in the pan: 6 minutes approx.

Step 8

Remove the churros from the pan with a skimmer and place them on a plate with kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.

Step 9

In a small bowl, add 100 grams of sugar and coat the freshly made churros in. Et voilà… you have made delicious churros for breakfast or afternoon snack!
