Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt, then gradually add water while mixing until a thick dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl (approximately 10 minutes).
  2. The dough is allowed to rest for about an hour.
  3. The mixture is placed in a plastic bag with a hole, approximately the size of a finger, at one end (this is known as a doser or syringe). ≈ 3 min
  4. Heat a pan over medium heat, adding two cups of oil paint.
  5. To form the churros, squeeze the bag containing the mixture into the hot oil.
  6. You can make straight churros by cutting the dough with scissors as soon as it comes out of the machine; or you can make loop-shaped churros by cutting the dough with your fingers and attaching it to the same churro. ≈ 3 min
  7. Keep turning them until they are golden brown, using a wooden spoon. ≈ 3 min
  8. Retrieve them using a skimmer or a wooden spoon, and allow them to drain directly into the pan. Then, place them preferably in a container with a mesh or in a dish with a cloth.
  9. If you wish, you can mix it with sugar. ≈ 4 min
