Churros with Matcha Chocolate Sauce 西班牙油條配抹茶白朱古力醬

A churro is a fried-dough pastry—predominantly choux—based snack. Churros are popular in Spain, Portugal, France, the Philippines, Ibero-America and the Southwestern United States. In Spain, churros can either be thin or long and thick. (Wiki)

Churro is my favourite snack when we are going to PNE or some theme parks and carnivals. And I always want to do it at home. Unfortunately, I don't like deep frying at all. I personally try to avoid deep frying at home. I don't like the after smell and also it is not a heathy way of cooking. Since we have some leftover deep frying oil from our thanksgiving party, I think it is the right time to try this recipe with around 2 cups of leftover oils. I personally think it is not hard to make compare to cream puffs. And I love the cinnamon sugar that coated on freshly made Churros. I made this for dessert/snack for a dinner gathering at my friend's house. And they were just gone in blink of an eye! 

Churros

Ingredients:

1½ quarts canola oil for frying

1 cup water

4 tablespoons butter

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoons brown sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

2 eggs

¼ cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Set aside. 
2. Heat oil in a medium sauce saucepan until it reaches 370 degrees. 
3. Meanwhile, combine water, butter, brown sugar and vanilla in saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. 
4. Turn heat to low and add flour, stirring with a wooden spoon consistently for about a minute. 
5. Remove from heat and add eggs one at a time just until combined, not longer. Let the dough rest for about fifteen minutes before spooning into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. 
6. Carefully pipe out 5-inch-long strips directly into hot oil. (I squeeze with one hand and cut the dough off with scissors with the other). 
7. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from hot oil to drain on paper towels. While still warm, toss in cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
