Enjoy a pot of pure melted chocolate next to cinnamon and sugar coated churros.  This churros recipe shows you how to make curly churros and the straight ones just like you find at san churros cafe.

 

Churros Recipe Ingredients

250millilitress or 1 cup water
1/2 cup or 110g (3.88 ounces) butter
1 cup or 160g (5.64 ounces) plain all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Cinnamon Sugar
1/4 cup or 55g (1.94 ounces) sugar
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

Chocolate pot
100g (3.53 ounces) milk chocolate

1L (0.26 gallons) oil for deep frying if making curly churros

Churros batter
Melt the butter and the water in a saucepan.
Add the flour stirring continuously. Keep stirring over the heat until the mixture thickens and clumps together into a smooth ‘ball’ (see video).
Remove form the heat and briskly stir in the eggs one at a time.
Add the vanilla and sugar and mix well.
Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a star shaped nozzle (you can make them round if you prefer).

Curly Churros
Heat the oil to 182°C (359.6 degrees Fahrenheit) (or 360°F (182.22 degrees Celsius) ). Pipe churros batter straight into the hot oil. Use your fingers or a knife to break off the batter when it is the required length. Once the churros are browned lift out and put onto a plate covered with some paper towel to drain.

Straight Churros
Pipe long strips of churros batter onto a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper.  Spray churros lightly with cooking oil.

Bake in the oven 200C (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for 12 minutes or until crisp on the outside and soft in the middle.

As soon as your churros come out of the hot oil or oven sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Melt your chocolate in the microwave (30 seconds stir, 20 seconds stir, 10 seconds stir, repeat 10 secs stir until melted). OR melt in a bowl resting over a pan, with simmering water at the bottom. Make sure the water is not touching the bowl and stir continuously until melted. Pour the chocolate into a small serving bowl. Serve churros warm.

  1. Hi Ann! I was wondering how many churros does this recipe make if each churro was about 10 inches long?

  2. Hi Ann,
    I was wondering how much does this recipe make?
    Thanks!

  3. Hi Ann,
    I was wondering, can we use salted butter for this? Or it has to be unsalted. Can’t wait to make these.
    Thanks in advance!

    • delish!

  4. Hi Ann, is it plain flour you use.. I know its a daft question but just wanted to be sure

    • Hi Nicola yes it is

  5. Hi, Ann. I tried this yesterday and I really had a hard time using the piping bag. Any tips or tricks? I’m using a plastic bag and attach the star shaped nozzle.

    • Hi Sally, I hope I can help answer your question

      The batter for the churros is very thick so you need to have a good quality piping bag and tip. Use a wide tip, such as the star tip. A good quality piping bag is a good investment if you plan on doing a lot of baking. It really makes a difference. I hope you find the method you need to get it right. They are really good!

    • Hi Shally, yes angelina is correct you will need an actual piping bag for this one as the platic bags will split because the batter is so thick.

  6. Thanks for the video I just did tic tac to churros for my kids.

  8. Im not sure what cup to use. I don’t have the measurement cup. So can you help me?

  9. Hello, Ann.
    Thank you for this recipe. I made these churros three times though but each time, I have to reduce the number of eggs used. With 3 eggs, tasted too eggy, like a quiche, I didn’t want to over- fry them. With 2, still a bit eggy. I got down to just one egg and it was perfect.
    P.S. I’m glad I found out how to cook that 🙂
    Thank you for sharing all your recipes and ideas.

    • love that you are experimenting and adapting recipes for yourself, thats awesome 😀
