Preparation of the churros

We teach you how to make homemade churros using a pastry bag, ideal if you don’t have a churros.  These are the steps:

• Heat the water with the salt.

• Pour all the flour into a bowl.

• When the water boils, add it completely to the flour.  Use a wooden spoon to combine.  The result will be a sticky dough.

• Pour all or part of the mixture into the pastry bag (depending on its capacity).  It is best if the nozzle is star-shaped.

• Make portions of dough with the nozzle and place them on a kitchen towel.  In this way the dough is cooled.

• Put plenty of oil in a frying pan and when it is hot (between 195 and 200º) put the portions of dough that you obtained in the previous step.  Cook over medium heat.

• When the churros are fried, put them on kitchen paper on a tray.

• To serve, sprinkle with sugar and accompany with some syrup of your choice.  You can also put this in a cup so that the diner can dip the churro to their liking.
