Sparkly Strawberry Churros Recipes

CHURROS WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the sauce: Wash, dry and hull the strawberries, then transfer them to a food processor. Pulse a few times until the strawberries are almost puréed. Transfer strawberry mixture to a medium saucepan, cover, and simmer over low heat until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and stir in brown sugar and vanilla extract. Add more brown sugar to adjust sweetness to taste; set strawberry sauce aside. (You should have about 2 cups.)
• Prepare the churros: Pour canola oil into a large pot to a depth of 2 inches. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Pour granulated sugar and cinnamon into a wide, shallow bowl and stir to combine.
• In a medium pot or saucepan (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat, bring liqueur, salt and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Remove from heat, then gradually add flour, stirring with a wooden spoon. Beat until well blended; the dough will be sticky and should resemble wet cement.
• When the dough is done, heat the oil to 350 degrees. Working in batches if necessary, scrape the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large French star pastry tip, or use a resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off.
• Pipe the dough into the hot oil in 6- to 8-inch lengths, using a knife to slice the dough away from the pastry tip as you go; do this in batches of four or five. Fry the churros, using tongs or chopsticks to turn them over a few times and keep them from melding together, until they are deep golden brown, about 6 minutes.
• Remove from oil and transfer to the prepared baking sheet to drain. While the churros as still hot, transfer them to the bowl with the cinnamon-sugar mixture and turn to coat evenly.
• Repeat with the rest of the dough. Serve warm with strawberry dipping sauce.

• Heat oil in deep fryer to 350ºF. Pipe dough, in batches, into 5-inch strips into hot oil. Cook 3 min. or until each churro is golden brown on both sides, turning after 1 min. Remove from oil with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Add warm churros, 1 at a time, to cinnamon mixture; toss to evenly coat.
• Serve churros with the strawberry sauce.

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!
