Directions

  1. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. ≈ 2 min
  2. Gradually add the boiling water to the flour, mixing constantly, until you have a very thick and smooth dough.
  3. Let it rest for about an hour.
  4. Heat a deep-fat fryer or a large frying pan with oil until it is hot but not smoking.
  5. Using a piping bag, or a freezer bag with a corner cut out to create a hole the size of your little finger, press the dough into the oil. Cut the sausages into lengths of about 10 cm using scissors.
  6. Fry the churros until they are golden brown and crispy. If the pieces are too thick and undercooked in the center, cut them in half lengthwise and fry them again.
  7. Remove the churros from the oil and drain them on a wire rack or paper towels.
  8. Serve generously, sprinkled with sugar, and flavored with cinnamon if desired, or with a warm chocolate sauce, or both. ≈ 2 min
