Churros Deep Fried Dough Spirals Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare frying oil:
• Heat 2 inches oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven or a wide 4-inch-deep heavy pot over high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 400°F (oil will be just beginning to smoke). Drop in citrus peel (oil will bubble vigorously) and leave in oil until browned, about 1 minute. Remove with tongs.
• Prepare dough:
• While oil is heating, bring water with salt to a boil, covered, in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil and remove from heat. Immediately add flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until flour and water are combined well (mixture will be stiff and not very smooth). Fill churrera with some hot dough and wrap a kitchen towel around churrera canister to protect your hands.
• Make churros:
• Turn screw handle of churrera until dough emerges from star opening. Holding opening about 2 inches above oil, turn handle to squeeze dough into oil in a continuous stream, making a spiral shape. (Spirals take practice; have a helper coax dough into a spiral in oil with a chopstick, keeping dough away from side of pot. For beginners, small coils or any kind of curvy shape is fine.) Stop when dough stream breaks naturally or pot is full.
• Cook until underside is golden, about 1 1/2 minutes, and turn over with chopsticks. Then cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Transfer churro with chopsticks to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with sugar.
• Make more churros in same manner, returning oil to 400°F between batches.
• Break churros into pieces if desired and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
• Heat oil for frying in a deep fryer or deep pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe 5- to 6-inch strips of dough into the hot oil using a sturdy pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Do not overcrowd the oil. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
• Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Steps:

• Boil the kettle, then measure 300ml boiling water into a jug and add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Sift the flour and baking powder into a big mixing bowl with a big pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, then pour in the contents of the jug and very quickly beat into the flour with a wooden spoon until lump-free. Rest for 10-15 mins while you make the sauce.
• Put all the sauce ingredients into a pan and gently melt together, stirring occasionally until you have a smooth shiny sauce. Keep warm on a low heat.
• Fill a large deep saucepan one-third full of oil. Cooking with hot oil can be dangerous - before you start, read up on how to deep-fry safely to avoid accidents in the kitchen. Heat until a cube of bread browns in 45 seconds to 1 min. Cover a tray with kitchen paper and mix the caster sugar and cinnamon together.
• Fit a star nozzle to a piping bag - 1.5-2cm wide is a good size. Fill with the rested dough, then pipe 2-3 strips directly into the pan, snipping off each dough strip with a pair of kitchen scissors. Fry until golden brown and crisp. Be very careful here - if air bubbles form in the churros they can explode, especially if the oil overheats or you use old flour. Cooking with hot oil can be dangerous - before you start, read up on how to deep-fry safely to avoid accidents in the kitchen. Keep children out of the kitchen and protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and eye protection, and keeping your face away from the pan.
• Once the churros are crisp and golden brown, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on the kitchen paper-lined tray. Carry on cooking the rest of the dough in batches, sprinkling the cooked churros with some cinnamon sugar as you go. When you've cooked all the churros, toss with any remaining cinnamon sugar and serve with the chocolate sauce, for dipping.To see a video of how to prepare churros, take a look at our churros ice cream sandwich recipe.

Steps:

• Heat oil (1 1/2 inches) to 375°F in 4-quart Dutch oven or deep saucepan. Heat water and butter to rolling boil in 3-quart saucepan. Remove from heat; quickly stir in flour and salt. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat; beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until smooth and glossy.
• Spoon mixture into pastry bag fitted with star tip #6. Squeeze 5-inch strips of dough into hot oil. Cook, turning freqently, until deep golden brown; drain. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat to 365 degrees F. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment, add the sugar, strawberries and scraped vanilla seeds. Process until the strawberries are ground into a fine powder. Remove 1/4 cup of the strawberry sugar and pour the remaining on a plate. Add the pink sanding sugar to the mixture on the plate. Stir to combine and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the butter, coconut oil, vanilla bean pod, salt, reserved strawberry sugar and 1 cup water. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and discard. Add the flour all at once. Using a wooden spoon, stir the flour into the water until fully incorporated and a sticky dough ball forms. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir to toast the flour and cook off any residual moisture, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and stir to release some steam. Allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Using a hand mixer, beat in the egg on medium speed until thoroughly combined.
• Add the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large closed-star tip.
• Pipe 3 to 4 inches of the dough into the hot oil, cutting the dough with kitchen shears. Repeat to fry 3 churros at a time, turning occasionally, until crispy and deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a spider or slotted spoon, remove the churros to the wire rack to drain of excess oil. Cool slightly, 1 to 2 minutes, then roll the hot churros in the strawberry sugar to coat. Continue frying the churros with the remaining batter and coating in the strawberry sugar.
