Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp plant-based butter (natural)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
Frying
- Vegetable oil (for frying, amount as needed)
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (natural)
Fluffy Plant-Based Dipping Sauce (Natural)
- 1 cup plant-based milk (natural)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (natural)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Preparing the Dough: Bring water, plant-based butter (natural), and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in the flour all at once. Mix vigorously until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides.
- Shaping the Churros: Let the dough cool slightly, then transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped nozzle. Pipe 4-inch strips of dough onto parchment paper or a baking tray.
- Frying the Churros: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry churro strips in batches until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Coating the Churros: Toss the warm churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly while they are still hot.
- Making the Fluffy Plant-Based Dipping Sauce (Natural): In a small saucepan, combine plant-based milk (natural), powdered sugar (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent. Heat gently, stirring constantly until thickened and fluffy. Chill slightly before serving alongside churros.
Notes
- Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for even frying and to avoid greasy churros.
- Use a large star nozzle for classic ridged texture.
- Fry churros in small batches to keep oil temperature steady.
- Coat churros immediately after frying so cinnamon sugar adheres well.
- Stir dipping sauce continuously while heating to prevent lumps and activate the natural gelling agent.
