Churros are very popular in Spain. Indeed, they are the traditional breakfast par excellence. You can find them in any bar from all around the country. The recipe is very easy and has no complications. The dough only needs flour, water and salt. If you have a churro maker (churrera), it is ideal, but if you do not we have an alternative. If you have never tried this dish, you cannot miss it; prepare it at home and serve it with a delicious hot chocolate for churros! Shall we start?
- 250 g of wheat flour
- 250 ml water (same amount as the flour)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- Sunflower oil
- A churro maker (churrera) or a piping bag with a star-shaped tip.
We recommend you buy a churro maker (churrera), it is fundamental for them to be perfect. They are very cheap and you can find them quickly. The other option is the piping bag. The problem with the latter is that it will be difficult to get all the air out of the dough and for the churros to come out regular. Be very careful when you fry them, it they have air the oil can splatter.
How to make the homemade Spanish churros recipe:
Our advice: hot chocolate with churros
You can combine the churros with a delicious hot chocolate, perfect for dipping them in. To prepare it, you will only need 2 bars of dark chocolate and 1 litre of milk.
- Heat the milk in a pot. Split each ounce of the chocolate and add it.
- Stir and when it starts to boil, remove from the heat. When the chocolate stops bubbling, put it back on the heat until it starts to boil (to make it denser).
- Cook stirring until the chocolate is completely dissolved and has a light texture.
