February 26 is the start of the Dutch Carnival so we looked for a tasty recipe. Our mini-monsters choose churros and just as tasty as at the Zoo please! Making your own churros was new to us, but it turned out to be easy peasy. But it is a recipe for adults to make, keep kids away from the deep fat fryer at all times and also to pipe the churrosbrute force is needed! The kids can still be a great help, with making bags, sprinkle sugar and eating churros!
How to make Churros
Heat the oil in the deep fat fryer to 150°C
Bring the water with sugar and butter to the boil,
Remove the pan from the stove when the sugar is dissolved.
Weigh the flour and measure the baking powder, join together.
Add it to the pan and stir it in firmly.
Add the egg, beat the batter smooth & glossy.
Here the disposable piping bag failed!
But the cotton one worked excellent!
How to bake Churros, but be careful, the oil is hot!
Check the oil temperature with a piece of bread.
Dip clean scissors into the hot oil, use it to cut off the churro.
Bake the churros in 5-6 minutes a nice golden brown, they turn on their own..
Drain the Churros on kitchen paper and bake more.
Sprinkle the Churros generously with icing sugar! (It melts instantly!)
We wish you a great Carnival and enjoy the churros!
