Bite-sized baked churros paired with Spanish hot chocolate.
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 2 packed tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing on before sugaring.
  • For the cinnamon sugar:
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, simmer water, butter, brown sugar, and salt. Add flour at once and stir until a soft, sticky dough ball forms and a starchy film coats the pan's bottom, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Cook for an additional minute, gently scraping the flavorful film from the pan as you stir. The dough will absorb some of the tasty bits for added flavor.
  • Pour into a bowl and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Gradually incorporate vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, into the mixture using a spatula. The dough will initially separate, but will eventually come together into a sticky dough.
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and lay out 2 baking sheets with silpat mats or parchment paper.
  • Spoon the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip (such as a number 356 tip). Pipe 3 to 4 inch ropes onto the baking sheets, leaving a couple inches of space between each. Finish each rope by using a knife to get a neat end. Pipe 14 to 15 churros on each baking sheet to yield a total of 28 to 30 bite-sized churros.
  • After piping the churros, generously spray the tops with vegetable oil spray and then mist water all over the pan.
  • Bake the churros in the preheated oven until puffed and edges are golden brown, for 20 to 25 minutes. After baking, briefly vent heat by opening the oven door for 10 seconds. Then, leave the door slightly ajar (8 to 12 inches) and allow the churros to rest in the warm oven for 10 minutes.
  • After baking, brush the hot items with melted butter and coat them in a bag of cinnamon sugar, working in batches of 6 at a time.
