I remember when Chris and I took the kids around a food festival in Manchester a few years ago. We had a great time and tried so many different foods, we were really in our element! When we asked the kids what their favorite thing from the day was they said " The Churros, they were AMAZING", I think Gracey has had a thing for cinnamon sugar since. So I knew I had to come up with a winning churro recipe that I could make at home. Typically churros are deep-fried rather than baked but with this recipe, you can bake them in the oven and still get that lovely crispy exterior whilst the interior is nice and fluffy.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan assisted).Melt the butter, sugar and vanilla in the water, then stir in the flaour.Add the eggs in one at a time stirring continuouslyPipe on to a lined baking tray (sheet). and bake in the ovenRoll in some cinnamon sugar and you’re ready to serve.
👩🍳PRO TIP Use a piping nozzle with a star shape to get that signature churro look! I made 2 batches of these Baked Churros with White Chocolate and Coconut for these photos and when I declared that I’d finished shooting. Cue the kids and all of their friends dropping the bikes, scooters, and footballs they were playing with outside to hoover them all up in the time it took me to make a cup of tea. This churro recipe was first published in July 2017. It has been updated in July 2021 with added information, improvements to the recipe, new photos, and a video. They’re even better dipped in a pot of warm, melted white chocolate and then sprinkled with coconut flakes - but isn’t everything 😀 They also taste great with some Salted Caramel Sauce (from my friend at Sally’s baking addiction) or Chocolate sauce Some of the links in this post may be affiliate links – which means if you buy the product I get a small commission (at no extra cost to you).
