Description
Crispy Eggless Churro Bites are bite-sized, golden-fried treats coated in cinnamon sugar. Made without eggs, they’re crunchy on the outside and soft inside, perfect for snacking, parties, or serving with dipping sauces.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter or neutral oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine water, butter (or oil), sugar, and salt. Heat over medium until butter melts and mixture simmers.
- Remove from heat and stir in flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until a dough forms. Let cool slightly.
- Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Pipe 1–2 inch lengths of dough directly into hot oil, cutting with scissors or a knife. Fry until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- While still warm, roll churro bites in the cinnamon sugar coating until well covered.
- Serve warm with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
- Keep oil at 350°F (175°C) to avoid greasy or soggy churros.
- For a lighter version, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes.
- Can be made vegan using plant-based butter or oil.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days.
- Reheat in the oven for crispness; avoid microwaving.
