Make Churros Spanish Doughnuts

Churros can also be filled with chocolate or fruit fillings.


Churros, or Spanish doughnuts, are deep-fried pastry in the shape of a long roll. They are usually sprinkled with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. They are a simple snack and most kids absolutely love them.


Instructions


1. Heat the water, butter and salt in a saucepan on medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then slowly stir in the flour.


2. Stir the mixture until it forms a ball and remove from the heat.


3. Beat the eggs well and stir them into the dough.


4. Place the dough into a plastic bag and seal it.








5. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. It should be about 1 1/2 inches deep.


6. Cut the end corner of the plastic bag and squeeze out strips of batter into the frying pan.


7. Fry a couple of strips at a time, browning each side for a couple of minutes. They should be evenly golden brown.


8. Remove them from the grease and drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle the churros with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
