Ingredients
Serves: 4
– Water: 250 ml
– Butter: 80 g
– Flour: 150 g
– Sugar: 50 g
– Salt: 1 pinch
– Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp
– Eggs: 2
– Sugar and cinnamon (for coating)
Preparation
Total Time: 45 minutes
– Prep Time: 15 minutes
– Cook Time: 25 minutes
Steps to Prepare
1. **Prepare the Dough**
In a saucepan, bring the water, butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla to a boil. Remove from heat and immediately add all the flour. Stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
2. **Incorporate the Eggs**
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
3. **Preheat the Oven**
Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. **Shape the Churros**
Fill a piping bag with the dough and pipe “U” shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them properly.
5. **Baking**
Bake the churros in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn golden and crispy.
6. **Coat the Churros**
While baking, mix sugar and cinnamon in a dish. Once the churros are out of the oven and still hot, roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mix to coat evenly.
7. **Serve and Enjoy**
Serve the warm churros with a side of hot chocolate for dipping.
Enjoy this delightful treat that brings a touch of sweetness to any day with less guilt, thanks to the baking method that skips the deep-frying.
