๐ฉ What Are Churro Snacks?
Churro Snacks are a bite-sized, baked or pan-fried version of the traditional churro, coated in that signature cinnamon-sugar mixture and perfect for dipping. They're easy to make, kid-friendly, and dangerously addictive — in the best way.
๐ Ingredients
-
1 cup water
-
2 ½ tablespoons sugar
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Coating:
-
½ cup sugar
-
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
-
2–3 tablespoons melted butter
๐จ๐ณ Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a saucepan, bring water, sugar, salt, and butter to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour all at once. Mix vigorously until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Let it cool for 5 minutes, then beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until smooth.
Step 2: Form the Snacks
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 2-inch strips (or small dots for bite-sized pieces) onto a lined baking sheet or directly into hot oil if frying.
Step 3: Bake or Fry
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden, or
Fry in hot oil (350°F / 175°C) for about 2–3 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Add the Coating
While warm, brush the churro snacks with melted butter and toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
