Orange Churros:
Ingredients:
🌷250 g water
🌷250 g Milk
🌷2 tablespoons unsalted butter
🌷1/8 teaspoons Salt
🌷350 g all-purpose flour, sifted
🌷Zest from 1 orange
🌷15 ml 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
🌷Canola Oil or any neutral oil, to fry.
Method:
1️⃣In a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat, combine water, milk, unsalted butter, sugar, and salt. Cover and bring to a boil.
2️⃣Stir in the flour, mix vigorously with a wooden spoon until it forms a smooth dough, and pull away from the pan for about 2 to 5 minutes. Next, stir in the orange zest and pure vanilla extract; continue mixing until there are no flour bits left and all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3️⃣Spoon mixture into a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip or a similar device for preparing orange churros.*(You must work fast and don’t let the dough get cool).
4️⃣Pipe the batter into 5-6 inches lengths about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets (the warmer the dough, the easier it to manipulate when squeezing/pipping the dough).
4️⃣When the oil is hot,gently drop a few orange churros in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp. Once cooked, remove them from the oil and immediately place them in the sugar mixture bowl; roll each fried pastry dough to coat with the sugar mixture fully.((I didn’t do this step)
5️⃣Repeat frying 3 to 4 strips of dough at a time. (about 4 to 5 minutes) * Make sure you keep turning the orange churros so they can cook evenly.
Roll the churros in cinnamon sugar:
For the Coating:
🌷1/2 cup plain white sugar
🌷1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
While still warm, roll the churros in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for a classic, sweet coating. You can also add a bit of orange zest to the sugar mixture for extra flavor.
