Things You'll Need:
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp. vanilla
- Pans
- Bowl
- Pastry tube
- ½ cup butter
- Vegetable oil
- Slotted spoon
- Electric mixer
-
Step 1
Combine the butter, milk and 1 cup of sugar in a small pan and heat on medium-high. Lay two or three sheets of paper towels on a plate and set aside until needed.
-
Step 2
Bring the milk mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the stove.
-
Step 3
Add the flour to the milk mixture and stir until well mixed. Next, blend the eggs and vanilla extract into the batter with an electric mixer.
-
Step 4
Pour 3 cups of vegetable oil into a large pan and heat on medium-high. Fill the pastry tube with the churro batter. For a professional-looking churro, try using a star tip for your pastry tube.
-
Step 5
Squeeze out three or four lines of batter about 4-inches long into the hot oil. Cook for 1 minute then flip the pastries over and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
-
Step 6
Remove from the fried dough from the pan and place on the plate. The paper towels absorb any excess oil on the churros.
-
Step 7
Put the remaining ½ cup of sugar on a plate and roll the churros in the sugar while still hot. You can also mix cinnamon with the white granulated sugar or just use powdered sugar for the coating. Your homemade churros are now ready to eat.
