Ingredients:
- 110 g unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 limes
- 1 cup premium flour
- 3 large eggs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 0.5 cups of sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Preparation:
- Knead the dough:
Combine butter, 1 cup water, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat; grate in the zest of 1 lime.
- Allow the butter to melt, then bring the mixture to a boil and slowly add the flour, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and continue kneading the dough until it begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Beat in one egg at a time, mixing completely after each addition.
- Fry some churros:
Prepare a pastry bag with a medium, open-star tip. Place the bag in a glass. Fill with batter and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Note
To create traditional grooves on churros, use a medium, open-star-shaped tip. The hole should be about the width of your pinky finger.
- Meanwhile, pour 6 cm of vegetable oil into a large saucepan. Heat the oil to 175°C (350°F) on a deep-fry thermometer. Slowly press 9 cm (3.5 in) strips of dough into the oil, using your fingers or a knife to cut off the dough.
- Fry the churros for 5-6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crisp.
- Using tongs, transfer the churros to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Let cool slightly.
- Sprinkling:
Combine sugar, cinnamon, and remaining lime zest in a small paper bag.
- Place a few churros in the bag and shake to coat them with cinnamon sugar. Serve warm.
