Baked Churros


Churros are usually deep fried..I wanted churros but not the deep frying so I baked them instead. The dough is like a cream puff dough. If you want the original churro, all you have to do is deep fry them!
Churros are usually ridged due to having been piped from a pastry bag with a star shaped nozzle. I only had a plain nozzle and it didn't change the taste one bit:)
They are delicious dipped in chocolate sauce. For a fun dessert, place a few churros dusted with icing sugar on a plate and a small bowl of chocolate sauce for each person.
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  1. In a medium saucepan combine butter, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat and add flour, stir till well combined, it will form into a ball. 
  3. Using a hand held mixer, beat in eggs, one at a time until mixture is smooth. You can do this by hand but you need to stir vigorously after each egg addition. 
  4. Stir in vanilla.
  5. Spoon dough into a pastry bag with a star shaped nozzle or a plain round one is fine too.
  6. Pipe approx 4" lengths of dough, at least 2" apart, on a parchment lined cooky sheet.
  7. Bake in 400ยบ oven for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
  8. Yields: 2 dozen
Chocolate sauce:
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream, I used 10%
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  1. Mix chocolate, cream, and corn syrup in a bowl. Place bowl over a small saucepan (on medium heat) which has just a small amount of water simmering in it. Make sure your bowl doesn't touch the water.
  2. Stir until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth, remove from heat and add vanilla.
