Disney’s Churros

/in /by

As the flu epidemic caught us off guard at the start of 2020, Disney decided to share some of their world-famous desserts on the park’s app shortly after the lockdown so we can enjoy #DisneyMagicMoments in our houses.

Instructions:

  1. Combine 1 cup water, 8 tbsp butter, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in 1 ½-quart saucepan over medium heat. Bring pot to rolling boil.
  2. Reduce heat to low.
  3. Add 1 ¼ cups flour and stir vigorously until mix forms a ball. Remove from heat and let rest for 5-7 min.
  4. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, and stir until combined. Set aside.
  5. Using caution, heat 1 ½ cups oil in medium skillet or 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat or until temperature reaches 350˚.
  6. Spoon dough into piping bag fitted with large star tip. Pipe 1-inch strip of dough over saucepan, cut with knife, and drop into hot oil. Repeat until churro bites fill saucepan with room to fry. 
  7. Fry churro bites until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon or mesh spider strainer.
  8. Drain churro bites on paper towel.
  9. Mix ½ cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon in medium bowl. Toss in churro bites until coated. Place on serving plate and serve with favorite dipping sauce.
