Churros / Fried Dough

Excellent! I thank you, and my kids both thank you for this recipe. I didn't make the dipping sauce, since we just tossed these with cinnamon and sugar donut style, but the dough is great. Used a thick freezer style zip bag in place of a pastry bag, and it worked great. The first 3 were made when I had cut the corner too large, but a mid cooking bag replacement worked great. My only problem was mixing the eggs all in at once. Tried and failed... Had to break out the Kitchen Aid and paddle to get this mixed while hoping I had no scrambled egg. Next time will just dump it in there in the first place, or beat the eggs in one after the other. Going to have to get a pastry bag and tips to make this correctly to have the crunchy edges we like so much. Thanks for sharing. This makes a ton, btw, so be prepared to share. I've only made half so far and we have about 10 of these as big around as my middle finger and about 8 inches long. Not sure how well the dough will keep, but will be making the rest in a couple hours when hubby gets home.

Great, well written recipe that turned out great (not pretty) churros for my daughter's spanish class. The kids and the teacher enjoyed them and they didn't come home with any leftovers.

This was our first time eating churros, so I have no comparison. The kids loved them. Hubby & I thought they were good. I'll probably make them again sometime when we're having a mexican-style dinner. I didn't pay attention to how many it serves, next time I'll only make a half batch!

So good... :) We skipped the chocolate and only made half a batch but still had plenty left over. My picky husband was very impressed and happy! We coated these with a cinnamon sugar mixture. Thank you!!!!

Haven't seen my star tip since last Christmas and now I know I have to search out another one. Made them last night when expecting friends for coffee. I used a plain round tip for piping into the hot oil, rolled them in cinnamon sugar and ate the first half while frying the second half, hahaha. I used one one cup of milk to one-and-a-half rounds of Ibarra and that was perfect for us. TFS!

This is a really good recipe for Churros- they taste just like the ones we had in Spain. Will definitely make again. It is important to use a good quality piping bag though as the dough is quite dense so a thin bag could fall apart :) thanks!

These were absolutely lovely! I don't have a piping bag so I tried to improvise and used a large ziploc style bag, not a good idea since it bust open after only piping out 3 churros. Undaunted I pulled out my cookie press, chose a disc that I thought would work and after a bit of messing around, voila, I had lovely twisty churros ready to fry. A definite hit with the kids, but I should have made half the recipe as it truly makes a lot of churros! Thanks for another keeper Rita! Made and enjoyed for team Mischief Makers - ZWT #7.

These are great. I doubled the recipe because I needed a lot of them. I work in a restaurant as a cook and I do all the baking. On Wednesdays we have Mexican day which are our specials for the day. Our chef wanted to have so that if you ordered something Mexican you got dessert compliments of the chef- So I set off in search of a churro recipe and this is the one I chose and they were fantastic. Thanks for a great one!

Great dessert with a Mexican meal. I made half a recipe and it was more than enough for the two of us. Have lots of the chocolate caliente left over. May make the dough again real soon to use the sauce. Do make sure the rods are small so they cook all the way through. I cut the hole in the plastic bag too big.

These were a delicious late night snack! I couldn't find mexican chocolate or corn oil at our Target so I subbed vegetable oil and some unsweetened chocolate with milk chocolate (semi-sweet together). I didn't have a pastry bag so I used a plastic sandwich bag which made nice rods. I didn't eat them all so I will have to experiment with how to heat them up as I am sure the microwave will make them soggy. A delicious snack all over! Made for ZWT5, A Storybook Meal, Dining Daredevils. UPDATE: ok so to reheat them I baked them in the oven and also did a batch in the leftover vegetable oil. The ones in the oven ended up being crunchier while the ones that I fried again ended up being softer (but not soggy). I was very happy with the results as I know that normally fried foods can harden or dry up.

Muy delicioso!! These were easy to make and fantastic to taste. I couldn't find any Mexican chocolate, so I subbed 4oz. semi-sweet chocolate and 2 tsp. Ceylon (Mexican) cinnamon. I also used freshly grated nutmeg. Made for the Epicurean Queens ZWT5: A Storybook Meal Spain/Portugual.

These were absolutely delicious and were simply inhaled by everyone for dessert tonight. I couldn't find Mexican Chocolate though, so I improvised and used semi-sweet and added cinnamon to it :) Thanks for sharing this, loved it! Made this for the Rail Riding Rowdies ZWT5.

I love churros and this is a great recipe. I tried making these using corn oil and vegetable oil for the frying and it was much better with the corn oil. For some reason, they were crispier and didn't bun as easily when I used the corn oil. Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe for a sweet treat!

My son and I made this for his school report on Spain. We made a test batch the night before and found the flavor was perfect. However, I didn't have a star tip large enough, and I could not get the center to cook without burning the outside. I will definately try again, with the correct sized tip! Thanks for sharing.

I never made churros before..... I have been missing out on so much!! I couldnt find my piping bag so I just scooped them into little balls. I also scaled this down to use one egg since I did not want to make a whole lot.... wish I hadnt scaled it down now! Made for ZWT 3!

We loved these. (Even though mine didn't turn out nearly so pretty.) No matter. We ate most of them as soon as they were cool enough to not burn. I dropped one, and the dog wouldn't stop begging after that, so I think she gives it five stars (paws?), too. Made for ZWT III
