Not everyone has a deep fat fryer (or wants to use one) so we put together this recipe for Baked Churros. We can all breathe a sign of relief, no extra oil added when it bakes in the oven. This classic Spanish sweet snack goes a long way to putting smiles on faces and even better, we've made a chocolate dipping sauce to go with them. We've included a simple step by step video above to run you through the steps. These baked churros are also good served with our own Marshmallow Fluff recipe. Method Preheat your oven to 200'c/ 180'c fan/ 400'f/gas mark 6. Melt the water, butter, sugar and salt for the dough until it begins to simmer and then add the flour, beating until you have a smooth dough that forms a ball. Cook over a low heat for one minute. Remove from the heat and set aside. Beat together the eggs and vanilla and then very gradually incorporate into the dough until it is absorbed and you have a thick, elastic paste. Put the paste into a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe lines of paste onto the parchment, leaving about 3cm between each one. Bake for 18 minutes or until golden and then turn off the oven and leave in there for about 8-10 minutes to dry out. Top Tip: Storage Storage Once baked, you can store them in an air tight container for up to 3 days. While the churros are baking make the dusting and place in a large freezer bag. Begin to make your chocolate sauce. Put all the ingredients in a pan and melt gently whilst stirring until you have a smooth shiny sauce. When the churros are ready, put them in the bag with the dusting and coat them well, then serve them straight away with the chocolate sauce (or sauce of your choice).

I made them in advance, piped them onto baking sheets and kept them in the fridge until needed which worked well. Yummy! Leave Your Thoughts Your Rating 5 stars4 stars3 stars2 stars1 star Email Your Review Ingredients Metric For the Dough 225ml Water 115g Butter (Unsalted) 1/2 tsp Nielsen Massey Vanilla Extract Vanilla extract is a superior flavouring ingredient, derived solely from the vanilla pod by soaking it in alcohol and water. Only vanilla extract has the true flavour and aroma of vanilla pods, producing a fuller, richer taste which will transform the taste of any recipe. Vanilla is also a flavour enhancer so will work with other ingredients and flavours in a recipe to give amazing results! It is a versatile ingredient which can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, try it in your cakes, cupcakes and buttercream. We always recommend using an extract rather than essence when baking. Our favourite extract is Nielsen-Massey, it gives consistently great results, the vanilla pods are hand-picked in the finest growing regions of Mexico, Tahiti and Madagascar and enter a cold extraction process to extract the vanilla from the pod whilst still preserving over 300 flavour compounds 2 tbsp Billington's Unrefined Light Muscovado Sugar The unique warm honey colour and creamy fudge flavour, which is incomparable to refined light brown sugar makes it the finest light brown sugar in the world. Its rich depth of flavour means it a superior substitute in any recipe calling for brown sugar. This versatile sugar is perfect for chewy cookies, gingerbread, biscuits and a huge variety of savoury dishes too. Why do we recommend Billington's? Billington’s unrefined sugars are produced at source, with the aim of locking in, rather than refining out, the natural molasses of the sugar cane. It is this difference that gives Billington’s its unique richness, aroma, depth of flavour and natural colour that we love. 145g Plain White Flour 1/4 tsp Salt 3 Eggs (Large Free Range) For the dusting 115g Billington’s Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar This is the highest quality caster sugar available and is a great natural alternative to refined caster sugar. It has a warm golden colour from its unrefined nature and is fine grained with a subtle buttery taste, making it perfect for deliciously light sponges, shortbread and macaroons. ½ tsp Salt 1 tsp Cinnamon (ground, Or use mixed spice) For the chocolate sauce 200g Dark chocolate 100ml Double cream 100ml Milk (whole) 45ml Golden syrup ½ tsp Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract Vanilla extract is a superior flavouring ingredient, derived solely from the vanilla pod by soaking it in alcohol and water.
