- Pour 250 ml of drinking water into a thick-bottomed stewpan with a capacity of 1.5-2 liters, put the stewpan on medium heat. Add 1 pinch of table salt to the water.
- Put 250 grams of butter in water. To speed up the process, butter can be cut into small pieces. You can use salted homemade or store butter in the preparation of churos, in which case you do not need to salt the water.
- Stirring the composition in a saucepan, wait until the oil is completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and remove from heat.
- Pour the pre-sifted wheat flour (150 grams) into the stewpan.
- Knead the custard mass with a culinary spatula, spoon or whisk until the flour has completely absorbed the butter and the dough will lag behind the walls of the stewpan. Let the dough cool slightly so that the egg white does not curl.
- Beat 3 chicken eggs into the choux pastry. Add each subsequent egg only after the previous laying has reached a homogeneous consistency with stirring.
- Transfer the resulting custard dough into a disposable cooking bag with an asterisk nozzle with a diameter of 1.5-2 cm.
- In a deep frying pan, heat 400-500 ml of refined vegetable oil (until a slight haze, approximately 190-195 ° C). Form churos in such length and shape as you want. Fry on both sides until golden brown, turning the product with forks or a cooking spatula, cooking tongs. After frying the first batch of cookies, adjust the heat under the pan so that the churos does not burn.
- Put the finished baked goods on a wide plate or tray covered with a paper towel or napkins to remove excess oil from the dessert.
- Put churos on a dessert plate, sprinkle with 50-70 grams of powdered sugar. To give the baking flavor, mix in a bowl 20 grams of fine granulated sugar and 5 grams of ground cinnamon, sprinkle churos with a mixture. Instead of cinnamon, you can take vanilla sugar.
