Churros Recipe
Hi everyone!
Over on Instagram, I asked you whether you wanted to see a churros recipe or a pancake recipe as my next post. The votes were extremely close but churros won, so this is the recipe. The best churros I have ever eaten were in Barcelona, when I was on holiday there with my family. (This recipe is from Jamie Oliver's Christmas Cookbook).
Makes 20 - 24

Makes 20 - 24
35 minutes plus cooling
Ingredients:
- 100ml whole milk
- 75g unsalted butter
- 200g self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 litre vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons caster suger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Method:
Pour 150ml of cold water into a medium pan and add the milk and butter. Bring just to the boil on a high heat, keeping a close eye on it, then remove and stir in the flour, baking powder and a good pinch of sea salt, until you get a nice, smooth dough. Cool for 10 mins, then beat in the egg until well combined.
Pour the vegetable oil into a large sturdy pan and place on a high heat. You want it to reach 180 degrees Celsius, so your best bet is to use a thermometer, but, if you don't have one, simply use a little piece of peeled potato as your guide. Drop it into the oil and when it rises to the top and turns golden, you'll know the oil is hot enough. Now, add a spoonful of batter and see how that reacts. Please make sure you are safe and pay attention, and don't have pets running around.
You can either keep it simple and add little pieces of the batter, or you can mould it with your hands into fun shapes (about 1 cm thick). Working in batches, very carefully and gently add the shapes to the hot oil to fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Keep watching and turning them with a slotted spoon until they're golden and puffed up all over, then use the slotted spoon to move them to a tray lined with kitchen paper to drain. Make sure the oil is back up to the temperature before adding more.
Place the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl, and while they're still hot, toss in the drained churros until well coated. Best served warm with a little glass or mug of hot chocolate, but equally delicious simply with melted chocolate for dunking. Enjoy!
