Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:
Prepare all the necessary ingredients for making Spanish pastries. To begin with, take a piece of butter, cut it into small pieces, put it in a ladle and melt it.
Step 2:
We put water to boil in a kettle, bring the water to a boil and immediately pour boiling water to the melted butter. Mix it up.
Step 3:
Then gradually add the flour, sifting through a sieve, and mix it in.
Step 4:
Now add one egg to the dough and beat the dough again. After that, we break the second egg into the dough and beat the dough again until the dough becomes shiny and glossy.
Step 5:
We transfer the prepared dough into a pastry bag using an asterisk-shaped nozzle.
Step 6:
Take a small saucepan and pour vegetable oil into it. We put the pan with oil to warm up on the fire. Already in the hot oil, we plant the future churros cookies in the form of sticks or curls. Fry the dough in oil until golden brown, but no more than two minutes. Fried churros are spread on paper napkins to get rid of excess fat.
Step 7:
Before serving, sprinkle the Spanish cookies with powdered sugar. It can be served with sweet sauce.

The advantages of this recipe can be considered that it does not take much time to prepare this Spanish cookie, and the process of preparing the dough is quite simple, you just need to follow the recipe. The finished dessert turns out fragrant, but not too sweet.

Recommendations for the recipe:
In order to make it easier to set the dough (step 5), it is necessary to squeeze out strips of dough 7-12 cm long, helping to cut with scissors or a sharp knife.
It is more convenient to get fried churros from hot oil using a skimmer (thus, excess oil immediately drains).
But it's best to use Chinese chopsticks in the churros roasting process. They are convenient to turn over the fried churros and extract them from the oil, without capturing excess oil.
If there is no pastry bag in the house, you can use a regular plastic bag, but a denser one. It will be necessary to cut off the edge from the corner of the package.
Strips of dough can be deposited immediately, but it is more convenient to pre-prepare them by depositing them on baking paper, and then just gently spread them in hot oil.
For sprinkling, you can use any spices, both sweet and spicy.
For those who like sweeter, churros can be served with sweet sauce.
