SLC26-W2 | Churros.

Welcome to my blog. It is my pleasure to participate in this second week of the challenge and here I will be making churros for the first time.

Please follow along as I present my recipe.

Ingredients for the dough:

1 cup water
2 tablespoons of margarine
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

The Ingredients

I used Cinnamon and sugar to coat the churros 😋 and chocolate sauce.

Once I got all my ingredients ready, I measured it and started by boiling the water and and then I added two tablespoons of butter, salt, sugar and as it continues to boils, I added the wheat flour.

I stir the mixture vigorously until the lumpy mass separates from the bottom of my pot, and when I noticed the expected result I turn off the fire🔥.

After I had put off the fire, I continue mixing the dough until I had a compact dough . I allowed it to rest for 5 minutes and then add my whisked egg.

Adding egg

After adding the egg, I continue to beat vigorously until I obtain a softer dough.

When this was achieved, I prepared my improvised pipe for the dough

When I was done making the pipe
I put the dough into the bag with that I prepared and I made sure that the pipe has some design similar to the original pipe.

I put plenty of oil in the pot that has two handles and heat it to medium temperature, and proceed to pipe my churros.

I fried my churros until turn golden brown and then drain them In an iron sieve.

After few minutes of draining the churros, I go ahead to coat them in cinnamon sugar.

Cinnamon sugar

After coating it with cinnamon sugar, it was just so delicious and I needed to explore more. I went ahead to prepare a chocolate sauce for the churros and the resultq was amazing 😍, it was super tasty 😋.

Churros with chocolate sauce

When you tried the churros, what was your experience like? Did you like them? Explain your answer in detail.

I really enjoyed the churros, in fact it crispy outer cover was just interesting to bite. It's softness inside and the cinnamon sugar coated complemented it all.

My experience during the preparation is that is not too hard to prepare, it looks simple but yet is very tasty 😋 and delicious. It crispy outer cover makes chewing it fun.
Through I experience a little difficulties during the frying process because of the improvised pipe I used, the nylon got busted after much pressing it but I love the out and this makes me love churros too much. My children enjoyed it and my husband enjoyed it too.

That is to say that I will be preparing this sweet delicious churros for my family from time to time.

Is there a stand or business in your city that sells churros? Tell us.

I have not seen any stand that sells churros in my city of residence.
While I was frying this churros in my shop, a customer walked in and asked if what I was doing and I explained to her. She waited and had a taste of it. She liked it so much and requested if I will be doing it for sale.

So I am think about including churros in the list of things I sell in my shop.

What type of dough would you like to learn for our challenge #3?

I will like to learn how to prepare
Arepa. I have heard a little about Areas and it also look like the scon we have here in Nigeria. I learn too that is it simple to prepare and can either be fried or baked.
