Tasty Easy Baked Churros Recipes

EASY BAKED CHURROS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line three cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Place water, 1/2 cup butter (sliced into tablespoons), and salt in a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted and stir occasionally until mixture boils.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the flour. A thick paste will form. Make sure to do this off the heat and off the stove, so that the mixture can cool as you stir it.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition (work fast to avoid cooking the eggs). It'll seem like the eggs don't want to mix in but they will.
• Place the churro batter in a large pastry bag fitted with a star or 1M tip.
• Pipe churros in desired size and shapes onto cookie sheets. (This recipe makes approximately 60 3-inch long churros or 25 7-inch long churros.
• Spray the churros with nonstick cooking spray. This will help them brown.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes (depending on size), rotating pans as needed, until churros are baked through and lightly golden.
• Cool slightly, or until you can handle them.
• Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter in a medium size bowl. Mix sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Dip the churros in the butter then roll in cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
• To make chocolate ganache: place 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe cup or bowl. Heat for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
• To make caramel dipping sauce: place 20 unwrapped caramel squares and 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream in a microwave safe cup or bowl. Heat for 1 minute, then stir until smooth, reheating as needed. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt if desired.

BAKED CHURROS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
• Combine water, butter, brown sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the mixture starts to boil. Remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour until completely incorporated and the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• Whisk eggs and vanilla in a small bowl. Add to the dough and stir until completely incorporated. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch open-star tip. (Alternatively, if using a 1-quart sealable plastic bag, fill it with dough and seal almost completely, leaving a small opening for air to escape from the top as you squeeze. Snip off a bottom corner, making a 3/4-inch-wide opening.) Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet to make 12 churros, each 4 inches long.
• Bake the churros, turning once halfway, until puffed and browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Combine sugar and cinnamon on a shallow plate. Roll the hot churros in the mixture and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT CHURROS EVERY TIME RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the chocolate dipping sauce: Add the chocolate chips to a medium bowl and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until beginning gently simmer. Add the cayenne and cinnamon, then remove the pot from the heat.
• Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate, then let sit for 2-3 minutes to soften the chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Make the churros: Fill a 12-inch cast iron skillet with 1½ inches of canola oil. Heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 370°F (188°C). Line a baking sheet with 2 layers of paper towels and set a wire rack on top.
• Meanwhile, in a small stainless steel saucepan, combine the water, milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, the salt, butter, and vanilla bean seeds and pod. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Once boiling, remove the vanilla bean pod, then add the flour all at once. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together in a ball and no longer sticks to the pan, about 5 minutes.
• Immediately transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and let cool for 5 minutes.
• With the mixer running on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until completely incorporated before adding the next, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. The dough should be smooth and creamy, like a thick custard.
• Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a 6B open star tip. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the remaining ½ cup sugar and the cinnamon.
• Working in batches of about 4 churros at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan, pipe the dough into the hot oil in 5-6-inch lengths, using a pair of kitchen scissors to snip off the dough at the end of the piping tip. Cook, turning the churros frequently, until golden brown all over, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack to drain for about 15 seconds, then toss in the cinnamon sugar until well coated. Transfer to a serving dish. Repeat with the remaining churros, letting the oil return to temperature between batches.
• Serve the churros immediately with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!
