Equipment
- Saucepan for heating dough ingredients
- Mixing bowl for combining dough
- Deep fryer for frying churros
- Piping bag fitted with a large star tip
- Tongs for flipping churros
- Paper towels for draining excess oil
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup passion fruit puree fresh or store-bought
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine water, passion fruit puree, sugar, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and add flour. Stir continuously until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove the dough from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add the egg, and mix until smooth and glossy.
- In a deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer dough to a piping bag with a large star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, using scissors to cut dough. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove churros with tongs and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a passion fruit dipping sauce.
Notes
- Optional Equipment: A thermometer can help maintain oil temperature for consistent frying.
- Customization: Mix cinnamon with powdered sugar for a sweet, spiced coating.
- Storage: Best served fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
- Serving Tip: Pair with a tangy fruit dipping sauce or drizzle with chocolate.
