Introduction
Churros are a delicious dessert that originated in Spain. They are made by deep-frying dough and coating it in sugar. Oreo churros are a modern twist on this classic dessert. They are made by adding crushed Oreos to the churro dough, giving them a chocolatey, crunchy texture. In this recipe, we will show you how to make Oreo churros from scratch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water - 1/2 cup unsalted butter - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 3 eggs - 1 cup crushed Oreos - Vegetable oil, for frying - 1/2 cup granulated sugar, for coating - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, for coating
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil. 2. Remove from heat and add all-purpose flour, stirring until it forms a ball. 3. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring until fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and glossy. 4. Add crushed Oreos to the dough and stir until well combined. 5. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F. 6. Scoop the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. 7. Pipe 4-inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting the dough with scissors or a knife as you go. 8. Fry the churros until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. 9. Remove the churros from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. 10. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating. 11. Roll the warm churros in the sugar mixture until they are fully coated. 12. Serve the Oreo churros warm and enjoy!
