Step 2- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle and let it rest for 2 minutes. Meanwhile l heat oil in a heavy- bottomed pan, carefully l pipe strips of dough over the hot oil and cut them with scissors. Fry until they achieve a golden brown color
Step 3- After frying, drain the churros on tissue paper and roll them in castor sugar. Serve with chocolate
Tips
-Avoid over mixing the dough for soft churros
-Ensure the oil is at the right temperature, too hot will brown quickly and remain raw inside, and too cold will distort the shape
-Flavor castor sugar with cinnamon but is optional
-Avoid crowding the oil while frying to maintain the temperature
-To check oil temperature, pinch a small dough piece and put it in the oil, it should rise slowly and then brown
Enjoy your churros ❤️
