Equipment

  • 1 Deep Coking Pot
  • 1 Spatula
  • Measuring spoon and cup
  • 1 Piping bag
  • 1 Open star tip
  • Hand Mixer
  • 1 Tong
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cookie tray layered with paper towel
  • 1 Cooking Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Milk lactose free
  • 1/2 cup Butter lactose free
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 4 eggs Eggs
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract optional
  • Hot Oil

Instructions
 

  • Place a medium sized cooking pot over the stove top and turn the temperature on to medium heat.
  • Gather all your ingredients, measure everything then set aside
  • Pour in milk, water, salt, vanilla extract and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely before moving onto step three.
  • Once the butter has melted, add in one cup of all purpose flour. Using a cooking spoon or spatula mix the batter until a smooth dough is formed.
  • Remove the pot off the stove and one at a time add in the eggs. After adding each egg, mix the batter with a handheld mixer before adding the next egg. And repeat the process until all four eggs have been combined.
  • Pour oil into a deep pot and place on the stove top and turn the element on to medium heat. Allow the oil to slowly heat up.
  • Take a small piece of the churro batter and place it into the hot oil. If the small churro batter sizzles the oil is ready.
  • Take the piping bag and add an open star tip to the bag, then transfer the churro batter to the piping bag.
  • Now, here you can have fun. You can either pipe about 6" length of the churro batter into the hot oil OR you can do what I did and create a small ring or heart shape churros.
  • Fry the churros in the hot oil for about two minutes or so on each side or until both sides are golden brown.
  • Using the tongs, take the cooked churros out of the hot oil and place them into the cinnamon and sugar bowl, making sure to coat the entire churro.
  • Remove the churros from the cinnamon and sugar bowl and place them on top of the paper towel to drain any excess oil.
