One of the most popular recipes of the Spanish-speaking countries that they prefer mainly for their breakfast is the churros, which look like our donuts. Here I suggest the classic Mexican churros which I accompany with a very nice caramel sauce, instead of the classic chocolate sauce or icing with cinnamon that they are usually served.<\/p>

Ingredient<\/h4>

For the churros:<\/strong><\/p>

  • 250 ml of water<\/li>
  • 50 gr. butter<\/li>

    • 120 gr. butter at room temperature<\/li>

      • 1 tbsp. grated cinnamon<\/li>
      • 4 tbsp. granulated sugar<\/li>
      • <\/li> <\/ul> <\/div> <\/div>

        Execution<\/h4>
        1. Put water, butter, sugar, salt and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and add the sifted flour, mix with a wooden spatula for 2 minutes until it becomes a dough.<\/li>
        2. Remove from the heat and put the dough in the mixer bucket and beat with the whisk for 2 minutes until the mixture cools down a bit.<\/li>
        3. Add the eggs one by one, stirring constantly until the eggs are incorporated into our dough.<\/li>
        4. Put the mixture in a pastry bag with a nose with an asterisk.<\/li>
        5. Put plenty of corn oil in your pan or pot and fry<\/li> <\/ol>

          There are 2 ways of frying:<\/strong><\/p>

          With the pastry bag, cut the churros into long narrow strips directly in the pot or grease a wrapping paper, cut them up there and then dip the wrapping paper in the oil, shake them and they are easily removed.<\/p>

          For the caramel sauce:<\/strong><\/p>

          1. Put the cream in a saucepan to heat (not to boil).<\/li>
          2. In a pan over medium to high heat, put the sugar in the center and let it melt slowly without stirring.<\/li>
          3. Stir with a wooden spoon when it starts to turn golden, cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the pan, stirring with a whisk.<\/li>
          4. When the butter has melted, slowly add the warm cream and remove from the heat.<\/li>
          5. Leave to cool a bit and serve.<\/li> <\/ol>

            For the serving:<\/strong><\/p>

            Mix in a bowl and place the churros in there.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
