Ingredients

Scale

Churros Dough

  • 1 cup water (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

For Frying and Coating

  • Vegetable oil (neutral, high smoke point) for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for coating
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural) for coating

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, plant-based butter, granulated sugar, salt, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar (natural). Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in the all-purpose flour and natural gelling agent until the mixture forms a smooth dough. Let it cool slightly before proceeding.
  2. Pipe the churros: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle. Pipe strips of dough onto parchment paper or a tray, cutting each strip to about 4 to 6 inches in length.
  3. Heat the oil: In a deep pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Maintaining this temperature is essential for achieving a crispy exterior and properly cooked interior.
  4. Fry the churros: Carefully drop the piped churros into the hot oil in small batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
  5. Coat with cinnamon sugar: While still warm, roll the churros evenly in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon (natural) to add classic crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature water to help the dough come together smoother and prevent lumps.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 180°C (350°F) so the churros remain crispy and cook evenly.
  • Pipe the dough quickly as it firms up fast once it cools, making piping easier when slightly warm.
  • Fry churros in small batches to avoid overcrowding and to keep oil temperature steady.
  • Experiment with sugar coating by mixing fine sugar with spices like nutmeg or cardamom for personalized flavors.
