Easy Vegan Churro Recipe

water (0.01)

salt (0.02)

¼ cup neutral vegetable oil (0.08)

all-purpose flour (0.14)

sugar

cinnamon (0.08)

dark chocolate bar (1.92)

full-fat coconut milk (0.20)

vanilla

cinnamon

To begin, bring the water, salt, and ¼ cup vegetable oil to a low boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, remove the mixture from heat and pour into a mixing bowl with the flour. Stir until well-combined, then let the dough cool for about 15 minutes.

In the meantime, make the cinnamon sugar coating by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl or plate. Set aside.

Once it has cooled, transfer the dough to a piping bag with a large star-tip attachment. Then, bring 5-6 cups of vegetable oil (enough to fully submerge the churros) to 350-375°F in a deep pot.

It&#039;s ideal to use a thermometer when working with oil. If you don&#039;t have one, test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of dough in. If it sizzles and floats to the top, then you should be good to go.

Squeeze 2-3 pieces of dough out at a time over the pot of oil (around 4-6 inches long). Cut each piece with a pair of scissors or a knife. Note: don&#039;t cook more than 3 at a time since the oil temperature will drop too much.

Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, remove each one from the oil onto a paper towel-lined plate. Leave them for about 30-60 seconds before rolling in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Churros

To make the chocolate sauce, melt the chocolate, coconut milk, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a double boiler over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate has melted, then transfer to a serving dish.

Alternatively, you can microwave the chocolate sauce ingredients in a heat-safe bowl for 10-15 second increments. Be careful to stop and stir frequently as it&#039;s easier to burn the chocolate in the microwave.

Serve the churros while warm with a side of chocolate sauce for a crispy, Mexican-style treat!

Unsalted Butter

Water

Sugar

tsp Vanilla extract (optional)

Plain flour

Cinnamon powder

Salt

Eggs

In a plate add the sugar and cinnamon and give a good mix. keep it aside.

To make the cinnamon sugar

In a large saucepan place butter, sugar, water, cinnamon on medium-high heat and bring it to a boil.

Then break in one egg at a time and with an electric hand whisk, mix it allowing to incorporate the egg before adding the next one.

Blend until mixture comes together and is smooth (it will separate at first but keep mixing it will come together).

Now spoon the dough into pastry bag fitted with star tip. (I used wilton 1M)

To make the star shaped churro, squeeze a heart shaped dough on a parchment paper.

Then slowly lift it with a flat spatula and drop it in the hot oil. or carefully pipe the mixture into preheated oil, into about 5 to 6inch lengths, cut end with scissors. DO not over crowd the pan.

Let them fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer it to paper towels for a minute.

Then transfer them cinnamon sugar mixture and roll them so they are evenly coat.

Serve them hot with chocolate sauce or caramel.

Put a silicone baking mat on a baking sheet and spray with oil spray.

Reduce heat to medium-low and add flour to the saucepan. Stirring constantly with a rubber spatula cook until the dough comes together and is smooth.

Remove from heat and transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Let cool for 4 minutes.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and mix using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until dough comes together. The mixture will look like gluey mashed potatoes. Use your hands to press lumps together into a ball and transfer to a large piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped tip.

Pipe churros onto the greased baking mat, into 4-inch lengths and cut end with scissors.

Refrigerate piped churros on the baking sheet for 1 hour.

Carefully transfer churros with a cookie spatula to the Air Fryer basket, leaving about 1/2-inch space between churros. Spray churros with oil spray. Depending on the size of your Air Fryer you have to fry them in batches.

Homemade Churros

Tablespoons sugar

Tablespoons salted butter

vegetable oil

Caramel and chocolate sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup white sugar and 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon in a medium-sized casserole dish. Set this aside. You&#39;ll use this for coating the churros later.

To make the batter: Add water, 2 Tablespoons sugar, salt, and butter into a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Turn off the heat then stir in the vanilla extract

Then stir in the flour. You will need to stir this for a minute or so, until it is smooth and thickened. It will start to pull away from the pan and almost look like play dough.

Transfer the thickened batter to a large bowl and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.

While the batter is cooling, pour the oil into a large pot to use for deep frying. You want the oil to be about 2 inches deep.

I highly recommend starting your oil on medium heat and using a candy thermometer to check the temperature to make sure it heats to around 350 - 360 degrees fahrenheit. This is important because if the oil gets too hot, you will quickly fry the outside of the churro but the inside will not cook fully and you will end up with a burnt outside and gooey, undercooked middle.

Place a paper towel on a plate next to the pot for draining the churros later.

Once the churro batter has cooled some, use a hand mixer to beat the egg into the batter until well combined.

Place the churro dough into a piping bag with a star or flower tip. This batter is VERY thick. You must use a sturdy piping bag - see my notes below.

Pipe churros into 4-5 inch long ropes, directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the batter. Don&#39;t overfill the pot or they won&#39;t cook evenly - work in batches.

It should take about 5 minutes to fully cook. Turn them once during cooking to make sure both sides get browned evenly.

Immediately as you remove each churro from the oil, roll it quickly on the paper towel. Then place it into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, toss to coat, and place it on a cooling rack.

Continue with the rest of the churros.

Serve immediately with chocolate or caramel sauce.
