Ingredients:

For the Churros:

• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup Water
• 2 1/2 tablespoons Castor Sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
• 2 tablespoons Melted Butter

For the Sugar Coating:

• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon grounded cinnamon

For Frying:

• Oil for deep frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sugar Coating:

• Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow bowl or plate. Set aside for coating the fried churros.

2. Make the Churro Dough:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil/melted butter. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
• Add vanilla essence
• Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.

3. Heat Oil for Frying:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet to 375°F (190°C). The oil should be at least 1 1/2 inches deep.

4. Pipe Churros:

• Spoon the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Carefully pipe strips of dough into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
• Fry churros until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.

5. Drain and Coat Churros:

• Remove the churros with a slotted spoon or tongs and drain on paper towels.
• While still warm, roll each churro into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.

6. Serve:

• Serve churros hot and fresh for the best texture and flavor. They are perfect with a thick hot chocolate or a cup of coffee.
•  Mexican Churros, partially dipped in thick chocolate sauce, taste amazing.

Tips:

• Consistency of Dough: Ensure the dough is not too stiff or it will be difficult to pipe. It should be soft yet firm enough to hold its shape.
• Piping Tip: Using a star-shaped tip gives the churros their traditional ridged appearance, which also helps in creating a crispy exterior.
• Safety Note: Be careful when frying as the oil is very hot. Fry in small batches to keep the oil temperature steady.

Enjoy your Egg-Free Mexican Churros as a delightful treat at any time of day, whether as a snack, dessert, or alongside a warm beverage!
