Oven Baked Churros
- 320 grams Milk
- 40 grams Butter or margarine (salted)
- 20 grams Honey (or condensed milk or maple syrup)
- 100 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 100 grams Cake flour
- 2 Egg ( M to L )
- 4 drops Vanilla oil (or vanilla essence)
- 20 grams Melted butter (melted in the microwave or in a hot water bath)
- 1 Granulated sugar
- Put the ingredients in a pan, and warm over medium heat.
- Bring it to a light boil and then turn the heat off.
- Sift the bread flour and cake flour together, and add them to the pan in one go.
- Mix them in rapidly with a wooden spatula, putting some elbow grease into it.
- Keep mixing until the dough is smooth and has no lumps.
- Keep mixing it with all your might.
- (It's pretty hard work.)
- Combine the ingredients in a bowl, and divide into 3 portions.
- Then add this into the saucepan one portion at a time.
- It is very important to add 1/3 of the mixed ingredients at a time and mix very well between additions until the dough is smooth.
- Once you have added all the ingredients and the dough is smooth, put it into a pastry bag with a star shaped tip fitted, and squeeze it out.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170-180C.
- TipIt's easier to squeeze if you put less dough in the pastry bag.
- If you can't break the dough easily, use the chopsticks to chop it off.
- This way, your hands won't get messy.
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the churros, and sprinkle on plenty of granulated sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 170-180 C for about 45-50 minutes.
- Please adjust the baking time depending on your own oven.
- TipTo prevent uneven baking, turn the baking sheets around once the churros start to turn a light brown, about 30 minutes into the baking time.
- Just after the churros are baked, sprinkle on more granulated sugar while they're still hot.
- Transfer them on to a wire rack to cool.
- TipThe dough itself is not very sweet, so I recommend sprinkling the churros with a generous amount of granulated sugar.
- TipThese churros are best eaten when they're freshly baked.
- But if you want to store them, let them cool down completely and then put them in plastic bags immediately to prevent them from becoming sticky.
