Fried Churros

In our opinion Churros are one of the worlds best desserts – when made fresh from scratch. They’re crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside and they have a flavor no one can resist!

Ingredients

2 ½ tablespoons white sugar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large ISE Premium egg
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 quarts oil for frying
½ cup white sugar, or to taste

3. Prepare the dough while oil is heating.

4. Add water, butter, sugar and salt to a large saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
