Churros Si Senor!

I made churros!! It feels like such an accomplishment, I never thought it would be possible to make churros! I mean its churros!! It's what you eat at the beach, so making it in my kitchen was quite ironic. They didn't turn out as easy to make as I had hoped! Making the dough was very straightforward but when came the actual frying... oh boy. I do not have a deep fryer so I used a pan and boiled the oil. To make the design on the churros I used a frosting kit and a piping bag - only problem was that the tip kept on falling off and i was so scared it would fall off in the boiling oil! Plastic and boiling oil together = my life is over. Anyhow you should definitely try them, they're yummy! They were gone so fast!! I used the recipe found here and changed it a bit.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of water
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 110 g of butter
• 1 tbsp of sugar
• pinch of salt
• 150g of flour
• 3 eggs
• frying oil (the recipe calls for canola oil)
• sugar for coating

1. In a pan, bring to a boil the water, milk, butter, sugar and salt. Mix. Once boiling, take off heat.
2. Add the flour in one go and mix thoroughly until you get a nice dough consistency. 
3. Add the eggs one by one and mix. 
4. Put the mix in a piping bag. 
5. Boil your oil. 
6. Pipe out some churros and let boil for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. 
7. Remove from oil and coat with sugar.
8. Enjoy!

* If you had some leftover dough, put it in the freezer for another time. 

* This is the same dough as the pate a choux and you can thus make eclairs if you have leftover dough!
