Homemade Crispy And Fluffy Disneyland Churros In Under 1 Hour
Fried to golden perfection, the Disneyland Churros are easy to make and require very few ingredients, so you can make them as often as you want as they will be gone very quickly, trust me!
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 1 ¼ cup cake flour
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Make the churro dough (choux pastry)
- Add the water, butter, cinnamon, and salt to a medium saucepan. Place the lid on top and bring the water to a rolling boil.
- Once boiling, remove the lid and shoot in all of the flour at once. Immediately remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the flour vigorously. Keep whisking until you have a dough-like mixture.
- Place the saucepan back over very low heat. Keep stirring until your dough becomes thick and has a smooth consistency.
- Next, remove the dough from the heat. Transfer it to a separate mixing bowl. Spread it against the sides so it can cool faster. Leave the dough to cool for 5 minutes.
- Once the dough has cooled slightly, add one egg at a time. Mix the egg in well for about a minute (by hand) before adding the next. Keep in mind that the dough will initially look curdles when you add the eggs - that's perfectly normal.
- Don't add the entire third egg. Beat it in a separate bowl and slowly add some to the dough. Keep adding small additions while mixing until you are happy with the consistency.
- Your choux pastry dough should be shiny, smooth, thick, and pipeable.
- Transfer the choux pastry to a piping bag with a star nozzle. Use it immediately or store it in the fridge for three days.
Make the churros
- Heat your vegetable oil to 400ºF (200ºC). Set aside a plate or tray covered with paper towel.
- Pipe long strands of churro dough directly into the hot oil. Cut off the piece using a scissor (the dough won't easily break off on its own).
- Leave the piece to fry for 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the churro from the oil and drain the excess oil on the paper towels.
- Finally, dust the churros in cinnamon sugar and serve them with any of your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
If desired, dip them in powdered sugar and chocolate.
