Churros
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup plant butter, chopped
- 1 cup gluten free all purpose flour blend
- 3 tbsp white sugar
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Oil for frying
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 tsps cinnamon
- In a medium-sized pot, bring to boil the water, vegan butter, and sugar. Stir and remove from heat.
- Stir in the remaining churro ingredients. Stir until the dough comes together and is smooth.
- Add frying oiling about 2 inches deep to a medium sized pot. Heat until roughly 360 degrees.
- While the oil is heating, add the the gluten free churro dough into a piping bag. Once the oil is hot, carefully pipe dough, 6 inches at a time, into the hot oil. Cut with kitchen scissors and repeat.
- Fry the churros for 2 minutes, flip and fry for 2 more minutes. While the churros are frying, prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Once the churros are cooked, remove them from the oil with tongs or a slotted spoon. Briefly set them down on a paper towel to drip off any excess oil. Don’t let them sit for more than 10-15 seconds or they will dry to much and the cinnamon sugar won’t stick!
- Roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve while fresh and warm.
