Churros are one of the best fried desserts ever. IMHO, Knotts Berry Farm or Green Burito have the best ones. Out here in Iowa, there are no places that sell Churros. So if you want one - you have to make 'em. Boy, these are yummy! My Dad and sister were saying "these are just as good as the ones at Knotts or Green Burito"!!
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup mlk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/4 tsp. grated lemon peel
Additional oil for frying
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS:
In a large saucepan, combine the water, milk, oil and salt. Bring to a boil over medum-high heat. Add flour all at once. Reduce heat to low; beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a stiff ball. Transfer to a large mixing bowl; let stand for 5 minutes.
Beat on medium-high speed for 1 minute or until the dough softens. Add egg and lemon peel; beat for 1-2 minutes. Set aside to cool. In a deep skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 375 degrees. Insert a large star tip in a pastry bag and fill with dough. Holding the bag perpendicular to a baking sheet, pipe dough into 4-in. strips. Transfer strips to skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Combine the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over fritters. Serve warm.
Yield: about 1 dozen.
***When I piped the dough onto the baking sheets - I did "2" 4-in. strips for one fritter. I also had trouble with my star tip falling off...need to work on that***
Yeah, I need help with football.
