Comment préparer Churros
- **Prepare Cinnamon Sugar:** In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
- **Make the Dough:** In a 3-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup vegetable shortening, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- **Bring to a Boil:** Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- **Add Dry Ingredients:** Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1/2 cup fine cornmeal and 2 cups all-purpose flour all at once. Stir vigorously until a ball forms.
- **Cook the Dough:** Return the saucepan to low heat and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a smooth ball.
- **Add Eggs:** Remove from heat and transfer the warm dough to a large mixing bowl. Add the 4 beaten eggs and beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth and glossy.
- **Heat the Oil:** Pour 3 cups of vegetable oil into a deep skillet or Dutch oven. Heat to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
- **Pipe the Churros:** Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil.
- **Fry the Churros:** Fry the churros in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- **Drain and Serve:** Remove the churros from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- **Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:** While still warm, toss the churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- **Enjoy!** Serve your warm, crispy churros immediately. Enjoy!
