Servings: 24 pieces
Calories: 43
Ingredients
- 2 cups water (500 milliliters)
- salt , a pinch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (140 grams)
- 2 cups sunflower oil , for frying (500 milliliters)
- 2 teaspoons gingerbread spice
- ½ cup sugar (superfine/caster is the best choice)
Instructions
- Pour water into a medium saucepan. Add salt. Bring the water to a boil and add the flour.
- With a wooden spatula, mix vigorously until well combined and you don’t see any lumps (the dough should be very soft & sticky. You should mix this for about 5 minutes or until smooth).
- Let the churro dough cool down until you can work with it (don’t cool completely). Transfer into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Pipe onto a sheet of baking paper or a silicone mat into candy cane shapes (3-inch long/7.5 cm).
- Heat up the oil in a large skillet/frying pan. Meanwhile: Prepare the gingerbread flavored sugar by mixing gingerbread spice with sugar and set aside.
- When the oil is hot enough, drop the churros in. Fry them until they have a nice golden brown color and are done inside.
- Transfer them onto a sheet of paper kitchen towel to get rid of the excess oil and coat each one in gingerbread sugar.
- Best served warm with a cup of thick hot chocolate.
Notes
- The churro dough should be soft and sticky.
- The churro dough will be soft and sticky but it gets harder when it’s cold. The softer the dough the easier to pipe it out so I don’t recommend waiting until it gets completely cold.
- The gingerbread spice mix can be substituted with ground cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
