Step 4: Fry the Churro Snacks
- Pipe the dough directly into the hot oil in 2-3 inch bite-sized pieces.
- Fry in batches to prevent overcrowding, turning occasionally, until each piece is golden brown and crispy, about 2–4 minutes.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 5: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
- In a small bowl, mix ½ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- While the churros are still warm, toss them gently in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Arrange them on a serving plate.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Churro snacks are best served warm. For an extra touch of indulgence, pair them with chocolate sauce, caramel, or dulce de leche for dipping.
Tips for Perfect Churro Snacks
- Consistent oil temperature is key; too hot will burn the exterior, too cool will make them soggy.
- Star-shaped tip creates more surface area, which makes the churros extra crispy.
- Eat them fresh—churros lose their crunch if stored too long, but you can reheat them briefly in the oven to restore crispiness.
Churro snacks are a delightful mini version of a classic favorite, combining a crunchy exterior with a soft, airy interior. With a light dusting of cinnamon sugar and an optional dipping sauce, they’re a treat that can brighten any snack time or celebration. Once you try these, you might just find yourself making them again and again!
If you want, I can also make a shortcut version that’s baked instead of fried, which is healthier but still crunchy and delicious. Do you want me to do that?
