Parmesan churros

A great savoury twist on Spanish churros !

As a Spaniard I’m obsessed with churros and chocolate but reverently I tried a savoury twist at a London restaurant so decided to recreate them at home and let me tell you they are 🔥 I served them with some cheese white sauce but you can also have them on their own !

🍽️ 2 portions

🧀Ingredients

• 30g butter

• 1 tsp salt

• 10g caster sugar

• 120g plain flour

• 80g Parmesan cheese, grated

• 2 eggs

🧀Method

• Combine the butter, salt and sugar in a pot with 200ml of water. Bring to a boil and add the flour. Cook over a medium heat, whisking with a spoon for 2-3 mins until the sides of the pan are clean. Transfer the dough to a clean bowl and let it cool down for 10min.

• Add the grated cheese and beat into the dough.

• Now beat in the eggs one by one until you have a smooth, glossy choux paste.

• Transfer to a piping bag with a star nozzle. Preheat a pot of oil to 180°C.

• Pipe the churros into the hot oil, snipping off with scissors at the length you’d like and fry for 2-3 mins until golden. Transfer to some kitchen paper to drain off excess oil.

• Serve immediately with some grated Parmesan and cheese bechamel sauce (optional)

FAQS and Tips
