Churros Poppers
Churros Poppers are the perfect treat with their fried dough and cinnamon sugar coating! This recipe is quick and easy to make with ingredients you probably have on hand!
Servings: 15 poppers
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup water
- 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or brown paper bag, combine the 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; set aside.
- Heat about 2-1/2 inches deep of oil in a deep-fryer to 375°F.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, 2-1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil and then remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball.
- When the dough is cool enough to handle, scoop and lightly roll the dough into balls about the size of walnuts. Fry 3-4 dough balls at a time, being sure not to overcrowd the pan until golden brown. Remove from the oil and immediately shake or stir in the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture. Remove to a plate while you repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- While these little treats rock on their own, you can dip them into chocolate sauce, melted Nutella, caramel sauce, or dulce de leche for even more awesomeness!
- A cookie scoop helps keep the poppers in uniform size, but you could also use a rounded measuring spoon.
- When rolling these, you want a gentle roll - just enough to form a ball.
