Churros! Brazilian Donut!

You have no idea how difficult it is for me to find the recipe. My first tasting of this churros was whilst walking down Bayswater Road London. A kiosk strategically situated by HSBC's Atm machine. But i knew it as the Brazillian Donut! First time was a hit for me. You have a choice of eating it with chocolate, caramel or strawberry jam pumped in the middle of the donut.

I finally managed to find this brazillian donut, not as brazillian donut but rather CHURROS which is cooler! I actually found several versions which makes it more interesting. Some mexican and spanish version. Ironically not Brazillian. Hahaha now you know why I find it difficult to find.

Must try snack food. Recipes as follows: Dunk it in chocolate, white chocolate, hot caramel, strawberry jam or any jam or even peanut butter. This is my version. hahaha Yum!

Ingredients: (Makes one platefull)
Vegetable or Olive Oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/4 teaspoon salt1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Prepare to fry the churros by heating oil in a pan (1 to 1&1/2 inches) to 360 degrees F.
To make churro dough, heat water, margarine and salt to rolling boil in 3-quart saucepan; stir in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute; remove from heat. Beat eggs all at once; continue beating until smooth and then add to saucepan while stirring mixture. Spoon mixture into cake decorators' tube with large star tip (like the kind use to decorate cakes). Squeeze 4-inch strips of dough into hot oil. Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning once, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. (Mix Sugar and the optional cinnamon); roll churros in sugar or dump the sugar on the pile of churros, like the pros.
