These easy homemade Churros are so yummy. They literally take 5 minutes to mix, then fry them up, sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar, and serve steaming hot! This recipe makes 12 Churros (roughly 10cm to 12cm long). You can mix up a double batch too, because 12 never seem to be enough for my family!
I’ve also included a quick & easy chocolate dip recipe, making these Churros an extra special treat.

Prep Time: 5 – 10 minutes + frying time
Yield: 12 Churros (10cm to 12cm long)
Ingredients:
CHURROS:
½ cup water
½ cup milk
75g butter
1 Tbsp. sugar
pinch salt
1 cup flour
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla essence
sunflower oil (for frying)
TO COAT:
⅓ cup sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon (or more according to taste)
CHOCOLATE DIP (optional):
1 slab Cadbury Caramello (88g)
20ml fresh cream
Method (for the Churros batter):
Prep your cinnamon and sugar, and place in a flat bottomed dish so that it’s “ready and waiting” to coat the Churros once they’re fried!
Pour a generous amount of sunflower oil into a large frying pan (filling about 2cm deep). Place it onto a stovetop, on a medium heat. Allow the oil to heat up while you mix the batter, but keep an eye on it because oil should never be left unattended on a stovetop!
Add the water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt into a medium sized pot. Place it onto a stovetop, on a medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts.
As soon as the butter has melted, add the flour and give it a sir with a fork until a dough forms.
It takes really quick, and don’t worry if there are any lumps at this point. Remove it from the stove and allow to cool slightly for about 2 or 3 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, add the egg and vanilla essence, and immediately beat it with an electric mixer until combined. Make sure to beat it as quick as you can, otherwise the egg could start cooking when it’s added!
Transfer the dough into a piping bag, and use a big star piping tip (with at least 8 points). Make sure to use a heavy duty piping bag as the dough is quite thick, and places a lot of pressure on the bag, sometimes splitting thin disposable plastic piping bags!
Method (for frying & coating):
Once the oil has heated, pipe 10cm to 12cm long lines of dough straight into it. Snip the end with a pair of scissors, or break it off with your fingers, just be careful of the hot oil!
Fry them for around 2 to 2 ½ minutes a side (depending on the heat of your oil), or until they’re golden brown. Make sure that your oil isn’t too hot, otherwise the outside will brown quickly, but the dough won’t cook through in the middle. Also, don’t fry too many at once. I usually fry batches of 4 or 5 Churros at a time.
Once they’re cooked, remove from the oil and place on some paper towel for a few seconds (just until they stop sizzling). Then roll them in the cinnamon & sugar, coating the outside.
Method (for the Chocolate Dip):
Place the cream into a microwave safe dish (preferably glass), and heat for 30 seconds.
Break the chocolate slab into blocks, and place them into the heated cream.
Stir until completely melted & incorporated. If they haven’t melted 100%, you can pop the dish back in the microwave on a “soften and melt setting” for a couple more seconds.
Serve the Churros warm, and dunk into the chocolate dip. Enjoy!
