Churros
Traditional breakfast dish served with melted chocolate and coffee.
Ingredients
1 1/3 Cups of flour
1 Cup of water
1/4 tsp. salt
1 large egg
vegetable oil for frying
sugar
Directions
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil with the salt - and gradually pour it into a bowl containing the flour.
Stir with a wooden spoon to make a smooth dough.
Beat in the egg - and keep stirring until smooth.
Put the dough into a pastry bag - or a large plastic freezer bag, with a corner snipped off.
Add vegetable oil to a skillet and pipe the dough in the hot oil in the shape of a spiral - take care not to overheat the oil.
Fry until a golden brown.
Lift out the spiral with a fork, and drain on paper towels.
Cut into desired lengths, and sprinkle with sugar.
