CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Churros Bunnies
Recipe for
1 Cup water
1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Cups All Purpose Flour
3 Eggs
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 Teaspoon vanilla
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
2 Quarts Vegetable Oil
Directions
- Combine water, 1/4 cup of sugar, salt, and unsalted butter in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Stir in flour, let the dough rest for 5 minutes and add eggs stiring in one at a time. Stir until mixture forms a ball.
- Heat oil for frying in a deep fryer or deep pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Transfer the dough to a sturdy pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip (1M). Carefully pipe the bunny shape onto the parchment paper. Place the dough into the hot oil; work in batches so you don't crowd the fryer. Cook until golden; use a spider or slotted spoon to transfer churros to paper towels to drain.
- Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture or colored sugar and decorate to your liking.
