Repeat process with remaining dough (frying no more than 5 at once, separate with metal tongs if they stick a little). Then transfer to cinnamon sugar mixture and roll to coat. Transfer to paper towels to dry briefly, about 15 seconds (don’t wait too long or they’ll be dry and the sugar won’t stick as well). Let fry about 2 minutes per side until golden brown. I recommend using the Ateco 845 or Ateco 846 (in the kit).Ĭarefully pipe mixture into preheated oil, into about 6-inch lengths, cut end with clean scissors.

(Note that pictured in the photo above is nearly two batches) Watch the Churros Video!įor the coating whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish, set aside. Simple ingredients, straight forward method and I’ve shared the steps and tips below so you can make a perfect batch too! They can seem a little intimidating if you’ve never made them before but they really are a breeze to make. I made these earlier this week for the blog then a few days later made them again for a family party and you would not believe how quickly they disappeared! Definitely faster then I could fry them.Īnd everyone was begging for me to make a second batch! That included my brother who couldn’t care less about dessert and lots of picky eating kids. I’ve decided these need to be a new tradition for family parties. Fresh homemade churros are the best out there! That’s because I’ve had real churros and nothing compares. Every now and then you’ll come across one that’s okay, but most of the time no thanks. We’ve all had those churros, the kind that come in a long uniform straight form, that were previously fried, frozen then reheated and they’re sitting there for hours next to the hot pretzels. They’re crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside and they have a flavor no one can resist! These are hands down the best churros I’ve ever had, even better than those I got in the Mexican market. I just hope the box art is accurate, and an actual Cap’n Crunch bursts out of each pouch to feed me Churros while giggling like a mustachioed Salacious Crumb.īoth of these Cap’n Crunch releases have been listed on the respective sites of Kroger and its subsidiary stores, so it might be a safe bet to start searching there first.In my opinion Churros are one of the worlds best desserts – when made fresh from scratch of course.

But I am interested to see if there’s better caramel flavor here than in the likewise * meh* Cap’n Crunch’s Caramel Popcorn Crunch.Ī bit more interesting are these snack pouches of Cap’n Crunch Churro Bites. That said, I’ll admit Quaker’s latest Chocolate Caramel Crunch isn’t quite as inspired as the Cap’n’s other seafaring fare-the combo of chest pieces and flavored Crunch Berries reminds me of the lackluster Chocolatey Berry Crunch. But at the same time, I love how this calls the geopolitical loyalty of the Cap'n's military service entirely into question Īs a result, I’m always eager to see what else this kooky Cap’n and his detached eyebrows has up his nonsensically nautical sleeves. On one hand, it's sad there's no maple flavoring here. While other cereal brands were trying to remove artificial ingredients and promote active, on-the-go mealtimes, Cap’n Crunch was still wack-adaisically dropping Creamsicle and Cotton Candy cereals-not to mention atomically colored Slurpees and pancake syrup.Īnd don’t even get me started on Canuck Crunch.
