I got this recipe from Ellie@Almost Bourdain! When i first saw it i was literally squealing away in front of my laptop. I love churros. Never crossed my mind that i’d make them myself one day!
Cinnamon (Sugar) Churros
(From Almost Bourdain)
Sunflower oil, for deep frying
100 g plain flour
150 ml full-cream milk
2 medium eggs, beaten
50 g golden caster sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Bring the milk and 150 ml water to the boil in a pan.
Take the pan off the heat and add the (sifted) flour all at once, beating vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a thick paste – but don’t worry about any small lumps.
Leave to cool slightly and then gradually beat in enough of the eggs..
..to make a smooth but still stiff, glossy mixture that drops reluctantly off the wooden spoon. It’s just like a choux pastry dough at this stage!
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle (aka my favourite piping tip of all! heehee.)
Hold the bag over the hot oil and gently squeeze out a few 10-cm lengths of the mixture. Bloop bloop! This is where the fun comes in 😛
Leave them to fry for 4 minutes, turning them oven halfway through, until crisp and richly golden brown. Lift them out with a slotted spoon onto a baking tray lined with lots of kitchen paper and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remainder.
The first few!
Mix the caster sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow dish, add the churros a few at a time, and toss them gently until lightly coated.
Verdict? It’s good.. But not as churros. Definitely not churro texture! Honestly.. was rather disappointed :S But it’s worth giving this recipe a try if you’re not particular about churros like me. Hahaha, cos i really did enjoy making these! Really fun 🙂
Ellie, i still love you okay! Heh, you’ve motivated me to hunt for the churro recipe! 😛
Something random..
Sorry phone camera quality! Hahaha, cos i made it early in the morning before lessons. I had to rush like crazy! But it was a good friend’s birthday and i really wanted to bake her something. She’s a huge fan of Spongebob. So i tried my best to actually draw it. Hahahaha! Was almost late for class making these. Heh.
Sudden thought.. I need a bake date. Anybody?

I was telling myself I have to make these soon. My daughter (and I, for that matter) chomped on churros everyday that we were in Disneyland. Cinnamon and sugar are perfect mates 🙂
ah i miss disneyland! you could make these, but definitely far from the churro texture. great fun to make though.
and yes, they’re match made in heaven!
Oh… you made churros!!! Opps… sorry it didn’t turn out to be expected!! hahaha! I still like Rick’s version of churros.
haha no ellie not your fault!
i think it tastes awesome and all.
but i was expecting it to be of another texture that i like!
heh. you know i still love you right? hahaha!
Sorry it didn’t turn out the way you expected it to. It happened to me too, with a different recipe. I went for churro balls, and while they tasted good, they were more of cinnamon+dough 😛 But having said that, this looks good! Maybe I’ll try it after this 😀
haha yeah i liked it, but not in a churros way.
its real fun making though.
can’t wait to see the post then! 🙂
And they looked so good too! Loved your photos and descriptions. I’m crazy about churros- guess I better keep looking for another recipe! But it was a good try.
haha thank you!
but you could try this recipe? maybe you’ll like it!
i don’t know. just not my type.
Oh what a shame about the recipe 😦 I love using the star tip too and how cute are those cupcakes? 😀
personal preference i guess.
