Equipment

• 1 Medium saucepan
• 1 Whisk
• 1 Wooden Spoon or Spatula
• 1 Large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip
• 1 Deep fryer or large pot
• 1 Tongs or slotted spoon
• 1 Paper towel-lined plate
• 1 Shallow dish for cinnamon-sugar mixture

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 Cup Water
• 1/4 Cup Unsalted butter or vegan butter substitute
• 1 Tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 1 Cup Gluten free flour blend (1:1 ratio or a blend designed for baking)
• 1 Large Egg
• 1/2 Tsp Xanthan gum (if your flour blend doesn't contain it)
• Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
• 1/2 Cup Granulated sugar, for coating
• 1 Tsp Ground cinnamon, for coating

Instructions

 

• Make the Dough: 

  In a saucepan, heat water, butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Add gluten-free flour blend (and xanthan gum, if needed) and stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball.
• Incorporate Egg: 

  Remove pan from heat. Transfer dough to a large bowl and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
• Heat Oil: 

  Fill a deep fryer or large pot with 2 inches of oil. Heat to 360°F (180°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
• Pipe and Fry: 

  Transfer dough to the pastry bag. Pipe 4-5 inch ropes of dough directly into the hot oil, using a knife or scissors to cut the dough. Fry in batches until golden brown, flipping once.
• Drain and Coat: 

  Remove churros with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Immediately roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy warm with your favorite dairy-free dipping sauces like a creamy cashew-based caramel or a melted dark chocolate drizzle.

Storage Guidance: Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day.

Recipe Notes:

• Dairy-Free Choices: Be mindful of your dairy-free milk and butter choices. Some substitutes can subtly affect the flavor of the churro.
• Flavor Adjustments: Consider slightly increasing spices or adding a touch of vanilla extract to compensate for any subtle flavor impact from dairy-free replacements.
