Richa’s Top Tips
- Use a double bag. always use a double piping bag to shape the churros. You may need to apply some pressure to get the dough out evenly, and the chances of a single bag bursting open are quite high.
- Fry in medium hot oilThis delivers the best texture and color. Too hot, and the churros will only cook on the outside and if it’s not enough, the churros may come out chewy.
- Cook the churros in the sugar and cinnamon mixture while they’re still hot/warm to help the mixture stick to the churros.
- Follow measurements and instructions accurately. When it comes to baking, it’s important to follow the measurements and instructions as accurately as possible for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure the dough is slightly warm before piping.This will make it easier to handle.
- I prefer adding my churros directly from the piping bag into the oil. But you can also pipe the entire batch onto a parchment paper first and then fry. The problem with this method though is that the churros might become flat on the side they are laid down. Doesn’t affect the taste though, just appearance.
- maintain the length of the churros to about 6 inches. The longer the churro, the harder it is to flip when frying.
- Do not overcrowd the panDepending on the size of your frying pan, avoid frying more than 3-4 churros at once. An overcrowded pan can prevent the churros from turning crispy.
- You can make the cinnamon sugar mix days in advance and keep it in the refrigerator. It tastes delicious. pancakes, waffles or this Nutella Sandwich,
