Churro Maker
Instructions:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
