What are Churros?

Churros are a popular Mexican dessert that is quite popular in the US. They are made with simple choux pastry fried in hot oil and coated in cinnamon sugar. Churros are a popular carnival or fair treat and let’s not forget Costco churros. We can’t get enough of their spongy soft centers, crisp edges, and sweet coating.

Churro Ingredients:

If you haven’t tried a fresh, homemade churro you are in for a treat! Homemade churros taste best because you get to use fresh oil that hasn’t been frying churros all day long. This recipe requires simple refrigerator and pantry staples (milk, eggs, butter, flour, salt, sugar, and cinnamon) and we use the same dough for Eclairs and Cream Puffs.

What Tools Do I need to Make Churros?

To make the dough, you really only need a medium saucepan and large pot to fry (a clip-on thermometer will help you maintain the temperature of the oil), a wooden spoon and an electric mixer (either an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer will work).

We used a Wilton 1M piping tip (which is a large open star pastry tip) and a large piping bag. I went through 4 grocery stores before finding the right pastry tip at Walmart and determined it’s easiest to buy it online.

Cook’s Tip: If you don’t have the tip or piping bag, you can put the dough into a large Ziploc bag and cut off a 1/2″ diameter circle at the bottom then pipe into the oil. They won’t have the traditional churro star shape but they will sure taste good!

Tips for the Best Churros:

Churro dough is surprisingly easy to master. Follow the step-by-step video instructions and you will be a pro in no time.

  • The dough is done “cooking” when it is smooth, and a thin film forms on the bottom of the saucepan. This process allows it to release extra moisture and it will be easier to pipe the dough.
  • Use large, cold eggs. The cold eggs help to cool down and slightly thicken the batter.
  • Beat the eggs in 1 at a time, allowing each to incorporate fully before adding the next.
  • Pipe the batter into hot oil in 6-inch lengths. Longer churros tend to curl more and are difficult to flip.
  • Keep the oil between 350˚F and 370˚F while frying. Adding too many churros to the pot can cool the oil too much.
  • Roll churros in cinnamon sugar while they are still warm/hot and it will stick better.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup milk, 8 Tbsp butter, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup flour all at once with a wooden spoon. Once incorporated, put back on the heat and stir constantly another 2 minutes to release extra moisture and partially cook the flour. The dough should come together in a smooth ball and a thin film will form on the bottom of the pan.

  3. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat on medium speed 2 minutes to cool the mixture slightly. Add 4 eggs, adding 1 at a time and allowing each egg to fully incorporate between additions. Beat until dough is smooth and forms a thick ribbon when pulled up.
  4. Heat 2” deep vegetable oil to 370˚F. Keep the oil between 350-370˚F while frying.
  5. Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large open star tip (Wilton 1M). Pipe 6” lengths into hot oil and cut with scissors. Fry 1 1/2 minutes per side or until golden brown then flip with tongs and fry another 1 1/2 minutes. Fry in batches, about 5-6 churros at a time. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate then roll in cinnamon sugar.

    Awesome, thanks for the recipe, just so you know, churros are originally from Spain (possibly Portugal) and here it is rare to dip them in sugar/cinnamon, they just go with the dipping chocolate, or your coffee if you are into that, or even plain sometimes

    So I tried making these just now. They did not keep the shape but turned into swollen logs in the oil. Reading the feedback next time I will keep the dough on the stove longer. I shaped them in the air fryer browned them nicely dipped in butter then into the sugar cinnamon mix. They were pretty good crunchy and soft on the inside. Can’t wait to try again. Thanks for the recipe!

      April 28, 2020

      Hi Karen, it was likely due to the humidity in the container. Churros are most crisp when they are fresh but you can re-crisp them in the oven or even better in the air fryer. I have kept some overnight loosely covered with plastic wrap and they were still great the next day, but if you cover them tightly, they can get a little moist.

          Hi Sana, yes you can make it but you will have to keep an eye on the churros and adjust the temperature based on how they look. If they are cooking too quickly, they will brown fast and won’t cook through adequately. If they take too long to brown, they can absorb more oil

      Hi Riza, the proportions are correct and this is essentially the same dough as we used for Eclairs. It sounds like maybe the dough needed a little more time on the stove to release excess moisture, otherwise, it would be too soft. Also, when measuring ingredients, check out this post on how we measure ingredients for baking which should help.

    Just like some the other commenters, mine too expanded/exploded when frying. I followed the recipe and it was not thin or runny when I piped it out. But as it kept frying, it expanded like a donut log almost. Taste wise, still good, but doesn’t have the crunchy texture like a churro. So disappointed in myself, I don’t know what I did!

      Hi Sue, I will do my best to troubleshoot – if you use a larger piping tip, they will expand quite a bit more. I have found that they expand more when you use a closed star tip as well. If the dough seemed too loose, make sure to follow our ingredient measuring tips here (since too much liquid could cause the dough to be loose and difficult to pipe).

    I plan on making these today while we are stuck at home 🙁 All I have on hand is 1% milk and half and half. Do you think I should use only half and half, or a combination of the two?

      Hi Adrianna, that should work fine to combine the two. I would use 1 1/2 Tbsp half and half and the rest 1% milk to make 1/2 cup of whole milk.

    Hi Natasha
    Love your recipes. ❤️ I made these flavor is great I followed to the tee.
    The dough came out too soft. When I poured in the oil they where coming out fat. Lol
    Help ! I would like to try again.

      Hi Lauraher, it sounds like your batter was too loose? I suggest watching the video to see where things might have started to look different, double-checking measurements (see our post on how we measure) and make sure you are allowing the dough to release enough moisture so it is thicker and easier to pipe. Also, avoid any substitutions (i.e. use the same kind of flour, use the same size eggs, etc). I hope that helps!

    Hi,
    Can we do without eggs or can we
    reduce the number, what about adding vanilla. Seen some recipes without eggs and with vanilla what are the differences.

    How do you reheat them? Or are they good cold? How long can you store them?

      Hi Mary, they keep really well at room temperature overnight and they can be enjoyed at room temperature the next day. You can reheat the churros in the oven at 400˚F for about 5-6 minutes then re-roll in cinnamon sugar. I would not microwave to reheat or they can seem greasy after that.

    Hi Natasha, thanks for the recipe, one question though, I read some people have trouble frying the dough because they can explode, do you have any suggestions to prevent that ? I really want to try to make it but I’m scared of the explosion ! LOL ! Tjanks !

      March 23, 2020

      Hi Lydia, I haven’t had any issues with exploding dough. I’m not sure what you mean. Is it an issue with splatter? It could be due to batter that was too wet or having a wet pot before adding oil (water will cause oil to splatter). I haven’t had any readers report exploding churros either – that almost sounds funny ha ha.

    What happened? Made the batter exactly as you said. It seemed beautiful, until I fried them. They just kept on expanding in the oil. Just kept getting fatter and fatter. Whyyyyyyy? What happened?

    • Natasha
      March 21, 2020

      Hi Irene, I will do my best to troubleshoot – if you use a larger piping tip, they will expand quite a bit more. I have found that they expand more when you use a closed star tip as well. If the dough seemed too loose, make sure to follow our ingredient measuring tips here (since too much liquid could cause the dough to be loose and difficult to pipe).

          Hi Monika, yes you can make it but you will have to keep an eye on the churros and adjust the temperature based on how they look. If they are cooking too quickly, they will brown fast and won’t cook through adequately. If they take too long to brown, they can absorb more oil.

    Love, Love, Love your videos; however, most I cannot make as we need to watch carbs and sugar intake. Would you consider shows with the reduced calorie intake of carbs and sugar. I know there must be a lot of us “handicapped” people out there who would love to view and prepare your delicious dishes. Thanks!
