Churros

For tonight's small group, we decided to have a Mexican theme. I looked for a recipe using ingredients I already had on hand to make a dessert and this is what I found....churros. I found this recipe at Allrecipes.com. The great thing about this recipe is that it also has a video you can watch to see how to make them. It's a very easy recipe to make and pretty delicious.

Churros

1 cup water

2 1/2 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup flour

Directions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
2. Heat 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe strips of dough into hot oil using a pastry bag. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
