“Delicious Churros with Cinnamon and Sugar – A Treat for the Whole Family to Enjoy While Staying at Home!”
Churros with Cinnamon and Sugar: An Engaging Blog for Stay at Home Parents
As a stay at home parent, I know how difficult it can be to find time to make something special for your family. This is why I’m so excited to share this recipe for churros with cinnamon and sugar. Not only is it easy to make, but the delicious flavors of cinnamon and sugar are sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face!
When my daughter was younger, I used to take her to a local market every weekend. We would wander around, picking up different fruits and vegetables, chatting with the vendors, and of course sampling all of the delicious treats that were available. One of our favorite treats was churros. My daughter loved watching the vendor prepare them fresh before our eyes, then shake them in a bag full of cinnamon and sugar. We’d eat them warm, savoring the sweet crunch of the outside and the soft pillowy inside.
It’s been a few years since we visited that market, but I still remember how much joy we shared over those churros. That’s why I decided to try my hand at making them at home. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was! All you need is some basic ingredients like water, butter, flour, sugar and cinnamon, plus an hour or so of your time.
First you’ll need to make the dough. In a medium saucepan heat together water and butter until melted. In a separate bowl whisk together flour and salt, then slowly add it into the melted butter mixture while stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until combined and forms a ball. Let the dough cool until it can be handled (about 5 minutes).
Once cooled enough to handle, roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into strips about 2 inches wide by 3 inches long using either a knife or pastry wheel cutter. Heat oil in a large pot until hot (about 375°F). Carefully drop strips into hot oil in batches and fry for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove from oil using slotted spoon onto paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly before shaking in bag filled with cinnamon-sugar mixture (1/4 cup sugar + 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon). Serve warm with favorite dipping sauce (optional).
The best part about making churros is that they’re so quick and easy! Plus you get that nostalgic feeling every time you bite into one – reminding you of all those wonderful memories made at that local market years ago! I hope this recipe brings as much joy to your family as it has mine – enjoy!
