Equipment
How to Make Churro Bites
- Prepare the churro dough. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the flour, mixing until the dough forms a smooth ball.
- Shape the churro bites. Let the dough cool slightly, then transfer it to your Churro Cookies Maker. Pipe out small bite-sized churros directly onto a tray or parchment paper.
- Fry the churros. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the churro bites in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain the churros on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Coat the churros. In a shallow dish, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Make the caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and let it cook until it turns a deep amber color. Remove the caramel from heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream (it will bubble vigorously). Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Let the caramel cool slightly before serving.
- Serve. Place a dollop of caramel sauce on the plate and arrange the churro bites on top, or serve with a side of warm caramel for dipping. Enjoy these crispy, cinnamon-sugar-coated treats!
With their Spanish origins, churros have become a beloved dessert worldwide, and this bite-sized version adds a modern twist. The Churro Cookies Maker from Deliberico makes shaping them easy, and the caramel sauce adds a decadent finish. Perfect for parties or as a fun family treat!
