  • Let rest for 5 minutes, then add the eggs one by one, stirring with the spatula. This takes some strength!
  • Place the dough in a piping bag with a nozzle. Cut the churros into 8 cm pieces on a baking tray lined with baking paper. If the dough is too hot, wait a moment before piping.

NOTES

1. Baking tips
  • Allow the dough to cool slightly before adding the egg. Otherwise, you will immediately cook the egg due to the heat.
  •  Use a nozzle with a serrated nozzle, such as the Wilton 1M or 2D
  • Pipe the churros onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. This way, they don't stick, and you can easily slide them from the paper into the grease.
  • Use a sturdy piping bag. Churro dough is thick, and you need some strength to make the churros.
  • Use new frying oil if you are going to fry Churros. Otherwise, the churros will taste the same as the last fryer. Be careful of oil splashes when frying.
  • Heat the jam before you pipe it, and if there are any chunks in it, strain it. This way, it becomes nice and liquid, and the churro fills better.
2. Variations:
  • Chocolate: Everything tastes delicious with chocolate. Melt the chocolate before adding. Everything tastes delicious with chocolate. Melt the chocolate.
  • Nutella: Heat the Nutella and pipe it into the churros.
  • Salted Caramel: Who can resist a caramel filling with a hint of sea salt?
  • Fruit variations: This is also delicious with other types of jams. Make sure you heat and strain them before adding them.
3. Storage
You can't store churros. Eat them right away!
