Advanced Techniques for Perfect Spanish Churros

• To get perfectly crispy Spanish churros , it is essential to master some techniques. Even small variations in the temperature of the oil or the consistency of the dough can make a difference in the final result.

Ideal Oil Temperature

• The oil temperature should be around 180°C to ensure that the Spanish churros cook evenly.
• If the oil is too hot, they risk burning on the outside but remaining raw on the inside; too cold, however, makes them excessively greasy.

Smooth dough without lumps

• Mixing with a hand whisk immediately after adding the flour prevents lumps from forming.
• The mixture must be compact and homogeneous so that it can be easily squeezed out of the piping bag .
• Avoid adding extra water, as this may compromise the consistency and make frying difficult.

Use of the Sac à Poche and Stellata Shape

• To give Spanish churros their characteristic star shape, use a nozzle with serrated edges.
• Cut the dough directly above the oil with scissors to obtain uniform, well-shaped portions.

Tips for a Crispy Result

• Frying small batches at a time helps keep the oil temperature stable.
• After frying, immediately transfer the Spanish churros to absorbent paper to remove excess oil, thus ensuring optimal crispiness.

Thanks to these advanced techniques, every detail will help make the difference and take your Spanish churros to the next level.
