Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Seasonings and Spices:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coating and Frying:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Craft a tantalizing mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl or paper bag, setting it aside for the final flavor enhancement of the churros poppers.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to a precise 375°F (190°C), ensuring the perfect environment for achieving crispy, golden morsels.
- In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil, bringing the liquid to a rolling boil before removing from heat.
- Swiftly incorporate flour into the hot liquid, stirring vigorously until a cohesive, smooth dough forms and separates from the pan’s sides.
- Allow the dough to cool slightly, making it manageable for shaping into delicate, bite-sized spheres using a spoon or small ice cream scoop.
- Gently introduce the dough balls into the sizzling oil, working in small batches of 3-4 to maintain optimal frying conditions and prevent uneven cooking.
- Monitor the poppers as they transform into golden-brown delicacies, typically requiring 4-5 minutes per batch for perfect crispiness.
- Immediately transfer the freshly fried poppers from the oil and roll them in the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture, allowing the residual heat to create a delectable, sweet exterior.
- Present the warm churros poppers as a standalone treat or accompanied by decadent chocolate or caramel dipping sauce, inviting guests to indulge in this irresistible dessert.
Notes
- Prepare cinnamon-sugar coating ahead to save time during the final serving stage.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature for perfectly crispy, golden-brown churros poppers.
- Quickly coat hot poppers in sweet mixture immediately after frying to ensure maximum sugar adherence.
