Baked Churros

Step 1

Combine water, sugar, salt, & oil in a saucepan on stove top. Bring to boil & remove from heat. Add flour & stir until all the flour is incorporated.

Step 2

Set aside & wait about 10-12 minutes for it to cool down.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with non stick baking mat or parchment paper.

Step 4

Prepare cinnamon & sugar mix for coating (I used a bread pan to roll the churros in).

Step 5

Fill your pastry bag or ziploc bag fitted with a star tip with the warm dough.

Step 6

Using prepared baking sheet pipe dough into desired size strips (I made mine 7½" long). Use a knife or scissors to cut end of strips off.

Step 7

Once your done piping your churros bake in oven for 10-12 min if your using a smaller size tip or until the ends are just faintly turning a pale golden color. Place oven on broil setting about 1 min or less to brown & crisp up the edges (Watch Careful, browning happens very fast on broil!). If your using a really large size tip bake for 20 min or until it's just starting to brown on the end, then broil for about 1 min. watching careful just until the edges get a little browned.

Step 8

Remove from oven & let cool for a few minutes. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter & brush onto churros, roll churros in cinnamon & sugar mix. Serve warm.
