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.
