A few weeks ago my friends and I got together for a fun filled Latin inspired luncheon. I prepared Chicken Enchiladas, one of my friend’s made delicious Spanish Rice and Spiced Black Beans.
After we ate, we set out to make our very own Churros!
Oh.Em.Gee Peopleeee! These are SO EASY AND SO FREAKING DELICIOUS!
You basically whip up a choux pastry batter, fry it to golden deliciousness, and then toss it in the stuff dreams are made of cinnamon sugar.
See? Easy as 1, 2, 3 😉
Churros
Servings 8 Servings
Ingredients
For Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For Churro Batter:
- 1 cup milk, whole or reduced-fat
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- Neutral flavored oil, for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare Coating
-
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a deep-edged tray or platter and set aside.
Prepare Batter
-
In a medium saucepan, combine milk, butter, sugar, and salt and cook over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk to combine. Switch over to a wooden spoon or spatula, and cook until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the pan and the dough becomes shiny, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and cool for a few minutes. Using a mixer, add eggs one at time, making sure to beat each one in completely before adding the next.
-
Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a open star tip and set aside.
-
In a large saucepan, heat oil for deep-frying over medium heat. Once thoroughly heated, pipe batter into oil in desired shapes. Fry for several minutes, turning often to ensure even browning.
-
Once golden brown, remove the churros from the oil and blot them on a paper-towel lined tray for a few seconds, then toss in the prepared coating.
-
Serve warm.

N looking forward to your Chicken Enchiladas recipe 😃
I just have to tweak a few more things before I post the recipe 🙂

You’re back!!!!!!!!!!
Believe it or not, I was just thinking about you and a few other bloggers a few days ago! I was thinking about commenting on an old post of yours to see what you were up to 🙂
Love!
Thanks love! 🙂
Love churros!! I wish I was closer so I could come to your luncheons! Gonna have to visit my sister soon….
These look fab, btw. 🙂
Well, I’m in California at the moment, so if you’re in the area come and drop on by! 🙂
InshAllah I’m going back to Ohio in mid-October, so make plans to visit your sister and me after that! 😀
Oh my goodness me!!! (currently drooling at the screen) got to try soon! Did’nt believe this was just so simple! Thanks for sharing 😀
It’s so surprising that they’re that easy, huh?
And thank you for stopping by 🙂
Yes exactly!still haven’t tried them in the UAE. Might as well use this recipe to give it a shot at home!
Well, the recipe for the batter is the exact recipe for Choux pastry (except choux pastry batter doesn’t have any sugar). You could leave the sugar out and fry up some churros, and then bake cream puffs, profiteroles, or eclairs with the remaining batter 🙂
One batter, 4 different recipes! 🙂
You know revealing that was the absolute best part of your recipe 🙂
I had been through several recipes of churros, but the bulb like me, i did not realise it was on the same line as choux pastry. I should have tried it the day i was working on choux. Hehe. Yes agreed, one batter, 4 variations is really cool!
oh wow it’s been yearsss since I have made churros – if I wasn’t just coming off a 2 day dessert binge I’d totally make them again now! loving how you’re doing your shots
Thanks! 🙂
I’ve been practicing with the camera, and I’ve been taking all different kinds of pictures. I find that the pictures I take in more natural settings are the ones that turn out better. I’ve tried setting it up with props and all, but it just looks so forced. I have to keep practicing to see what works.
Yum! Any chance you will share other recipes from your luncheon?
Thanks for the awesome recipes as always.
Thank YOU for stopping by!
I will share the recipe for the enchiladas in the near future. I feel like they needed to be tweaked a little, so inshAllah as soon as I nail the recipe I promise I’ll post it here 🙂
My friend’s beans and rice were phenomenal! So inshAllah soon I’ll get the recipe from her and try it myself, and then I’ll post them here 🙂
Is there anything specific you would like to see here?
My kids love churros to the point that I began to hate it !!!! 🙂 Each time we visit Costco they have to order it!! Now I’ve got an easy recipe for it, I can make it at home. Please share the enchiladas recipe soon if you can.
Omg I love Costco Churros! I have to tweak the enchilada recipe a little bit but InshAllah I’ll have it up soon 🙂
Wow! These look wonderful and perfect.
Thanks! 🙂
I seem to enjoy churros more than my children, when we are at theme parks. Now I am going to follow your recipe and make mine at home and eat them all up haha!
LOL!
I’d love if you could share the other recipes from your luncheon too! Your churros look awesome!
InshAllah I will once I recreate them 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
how do we incorporate the eggs if we dont have a mixer?
Hello Sonie! You can mix incorporate the eggs by stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon 🙂
Ok I made churros and they were hard! What size is the cup you use?
I’m so sorry to hear that! Did you change anything in the recipe?
I’m confused- what cup are you referring to?
Perfect and easy recipe, easy to follow with clear instructions
Thank you so much!
