Imagine strolling through the colorful streets and cozy cafes of Spain, where the churros recipe has been a beloved treat for generations. Picture a plate of crisp, homemade churros served hot, lightly sprinkled with sugar. And the sauce? A warm chocolate dip. Really, really good.

Traditionally, these delights are made with just water, flour and salt—simple ingredients that create a tender bite. People keep coming back for more. But here's the thing, what makes this easy churros recipe different is the addition of eggs to the dough. This tweak gives the outside a golden, crunchy shell while keeping the inside light and moist. It's amazing, really, how a small change can elevate a classic Spanish dessert to something extra special.

In Spain, churros are everywhere. From bustling street markets in Madrid to quaint village cafés, folks gather for a late breakfast or an afternoon snack. Some prefer their authentic churros plain—which is great, while others go for a dusting of cinnamon sugar or a dip in thick, rich chocolate. This version works well for both. You choose how sweet.

Kids love the sweet flavor, and adults? They appreciate the simple, nostalgic feeling each bite brings. Whether served as churros with chocolate sauce or just with a sugar dip, these crispy, golden treats are the kind of food that brings everyone together. For sure.

With roots in traditional Spanish cafés and a modern twist, this recipe shows that fried dough pastry never goes out of style. And the best part? You don't need fancy ingredients or skills. Pretty simple, and it tastes just as good as anything you'd enjoy on a trip to Spain.

Every bite is a reminder of bright Spanish mornings and the joy of sharing snacks with friends and family. So, why not bring a taste of Spain to your kitchen and enjoy the great experience of making and eating churros together? It's a fun and easy way to create lasting memories with those you love.

Preparation

How to prepare Delicious churros

To make the delicious churros, start with the dough: in a saucepan, pour the water, vegetable oil 1, and salt 2, and bring it to a simmer. Meanwhile, sift the flour separately. As soon as the water comes to a simmer, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the flour all at once 3.

Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon to obtain a solid and consistent mixture 4, then return the saucepan to the heat and continue stirring for at least 3 minutes over medium heat until a white film forms on the bottom 5. At this point, pour the mixture into a bowl and spread it on the sides with the help of the wooden spoon so it cools faster 6. Let it cool for 10 minutes.

When the mixture has cooled, add the previously beaten egg 7 and mix vigorously to incorporate it until the dough is smooth, compact, and homogeneous 8. Transfer the obtained dough into a pastry bag with a medium-sized star nozzle (we used a 0.6 inch one) 9.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot to a temperature of 356°F, then squeeze the dough directly into the oil, cutting it to a length of about 4 inches with the help of a knife 10. Fry the churros for about 3-5 minutes, turning them often so that they brown evenly on all sides, then drain them 11 and transfer them to paper towels to remove excess oil 12.

Meanwhile, mix the granulated sugar with the cinnamon (if you like) 13. Pass the hot delicious churros in the flavored sugar and cover them entirely 14. Your delicious churros are ready to be enjoyed with a cup of hot chocolate 15!
