Churros

This fun, sweet bread is a bit like a donut. Just sprinkle with a sugar/cinnamon mix and dip in a chocolate sauce. Gluten and dairy free.

Serve as part of a Children’s Party Menu with
Perfect Pizza, Chocolate Maple Sauce, Very Blueberry Scones, Banana Choco Bread and Grandma’s Chocolate Balls

Makes about 10 pieces of 10 cm long Churros.

125g gluten free flour mix
1/2 tsp baking powder

300 ml water
1 tbs oil (corn or sunflower)
dash of salt

Oil for frying

3 tbsp caster sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Chocolate sauce

  1. Mix the flour and baking powder
  2. Bring the water, salt and oil to a boil.
  3. While stirring, slowly pour the water into the flour making sure to eliminate any lumps. (the batter can be quite lumpy)
  4. Spoon into a piping bag with nozzle providing long strings the size of you smallest finger.
  5. Heat enough oil in a pan to allow a churro to float freely. When hot (a small piece of bread should brown in less than 30 seconds), press the batter from the piping tube directly into the oil. Cut the batter with a scissor to get the desired lengths. Fry until browned. Turn if necessary.
