Tasty Tuesday - Churros
Nico and Bianca have a lovely blog and one day I found this amazing recipe, I know full of temptations and chocolate but hey from time to time you are allowed to indulge, right?
Ingredients for the Spanish recipe:
Ingredients for the Spanish recipe:
- 500 ml
water
- 255 g
flour
- 1 tsp
salt
- sugar,
cinnamon ( to sprinkle )
- plenty of
vegetable oil for frying
Hot
chocolate sauce:
- 150 g
dark chocolate
- 150 ml cream
Place the
water and salt in a pot and bring it to boil. Then add all the flour and mix
well until a consistent dough is formed. Remove from heat and continue mixing
until smooth. Let the dough stand covered for about 15 min, to cool down.
Heat the
oil at 180 degrees C in a large frying pan.
Place the dough in a churrera or a pastry bag with a star shaped tip attached and squeeze
out about 20 cm long churros straight into the hot oil. Fry them until golden
brown, on each side. Place them on kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil and
while they are still hot, sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon sugar. Serve
them immediately with hot chocolate sauce.
They also have some other ideas, like Mexican versions! Try it!
