How to Make Disney Churro Bites
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- 8 tablespoons of butter
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon (divided into 1/4 teaspoon and 1/2 teaspoon)
- 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups of vegetable or canola oil
- 1/2 cup of sugar
Directions:
- In a saucepan, combine water, butter, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Bring to a boil.
- Add flour all at once and stir until it forms a ball.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Add eggs one at a time, stirring until smooth.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Pipe the dough into bite-sized pieces and fry until golden brown.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Combine sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, then toss churro bites in cinnamon sugar and serve warm.
How to Serve Disney Churro Bites
Serve these churro bites warm for the best taste! You can enjoy them plain or with a side of chocolate sauce for dipping. They are perfect for parties, family movie nights, or just a fun snack.
How to Store Disney Churro Bites
If you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. They are best eaten fresh, but you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to crisp them back up.
Tips to Make Disney Churro Bites
- Make sure to let the dough cool slightly before adding the eggs; this helps them combine better.
- Keep the oil at the right temperature for frying—too hot, and they’ll burn; too low, and they’ll absorb too much oil.
- Feel free to sprinkle extra cinnamon and sugar on top for an extra touch of sweetness!
Variation
You can mix things up by adding different flavors to your churro batter. Try a splash of vanilla extract or some cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist!
FAQs
1. Can I make these churro bites in advance?
While they are best fresh, you can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it. Fry them when you’re ready to enjoy!
2. What can I serve with churro bites?
Churro bites pair wonderfully with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
3. Can I bake these instead of frying?
You can try baking them at a high temperature, but the texture will be different. Frying gives them that classic churro crispiness!
Enjoy making these delightful Disney Churro Bites! Happy cooking!
