Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
  • Chocolate Sauce (optional)
  • Dulce de Leche (optional)
  • Fruit Compote (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Workspace: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Start the Choux Pastry Base: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the Flour: Immediately add 1 cup of all-purpose flour to the hot liquid, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Cook over low heat for another 1-2 minutes.
  4. Cool the Dough: Transfer the dough ball to a large mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes.
  5. Incorporate the Eggs: Add 3 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  6. Pipe the Churro Bites: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe small, bite-sized 'stars' or short, 1-inch strips onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the churro bites are puffed, golden brown, and firm to the touch.
  8. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
  9. Coat and Serve: As soon as the Baked Churro Bites come out of the oven, transfer them to the cinnamon sugar mixture and toss until fully coated. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
