Delicious Spanish treat
This magnificent Spanish dessert called Churros is so spectacular that I bet you will adore it. These are the top reasons why you should make this recipe:
- simple, beginner-friendly recipe
- a quick recipe made without yeast
- golden, crunchy exterior and soft interior
- I love a delicious cinnamon sugar coating
- serve with delicious chocolate dip
- kids and adults love it
- they are best on the same day
What to serve with Churros
Churros are incredible fried sticks that can be eaten without dusting or sauce. However, those can only elevate the dessert. We love:
- cinnamon sugar coating (like in this recipe)
- sprinkle with chocolate or colorful sprinkles
- sprinkle with chopped nuts
- sprinkle with coconut
Dip the churros into melted chocolate or sugar icing if you use sprinkles, nuts, or coconut. We recommend these dips, too:
- chocolate dip (like in this recipe)
- dulce de leche
- salted caramel
Storing Churros
It's best to serve these Churros the same day, but they will also be delicious the next day. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

METHOD
-
dough
Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a bowl. Stir to combine. Pour boiling water over the mixture and add the olive oil. Stir with a spatula to combine all the ingredients into a thick mixture. Don't overwork it. Set aside for 30 minutes for the mixture to cool.
-
CHURROS
Prepare a pastry bag with a 1-cm star tip. Fill the pastry bag with the mixture. Pour oil into a deep pan Tefal (26 cm). Heat the oil until it reaches 170 - 180°C / 340 - 355 °F. When the oil is hot, pipe 4 - 6 churros, approx. 10 cm (4 inches) long. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the oil temperature will fall, and the churros won't be as crispy. Fry the churros for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the churros to a baking dish lined with paper towels and repeat the process until you use all the mixture.
-
dusting
In a small bowl, stir to combine sugar and cinnamon powder. Coat the churros in the mixture.
-
chocolate sauce
Add chocolate chips to a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and cinnamon powder. Add heavy cream to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and set aside for 5 minutes, then stir into a smooth sauce. Serve with churros.
