This is a sort of Mexican donut. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 cup olive oil or 1/4 cup sunflower oil |
1 egg, beaten |
sugar, for dusting |
ground cinnamon, for dusting |
oil (for deep frying) |
Directions:
1. Sift the flour, salt, and sugar onto a piece of paper. Heat 1 cup of water in a saucepan with the oil until it boils.
2. Pour the flour mixture and beat with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a stiff paste. Let cool for 2 minutes.
3. Gradually beat the egg until smooth. Oil a large baking sheet. Sprinkle plenty of sugar on a plate and stir in a little cinnamon.
4. Put the dough in a large pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch plain piping nozzle. Pipe the little coils or S shapes onto the baking sheet.
5. Heat 2 inches of oil in a large pan to 336°F or until a little dough sizzles on the surface.
6. Using an oiled metal spatula, lower several of the piped shapes into the oil and cook for about 2 minutes, until light golden.
7. Drain on paper towels, then coat with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Cook the remaining churros in the same way and serve immediately.
