Servings 12 Churros

Equipment

• 1 Medium saucepan
• 1 Whisk
• 1 Wooden Spoon or Spatula
• 1 Large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip
• 1 Deep fryer or large pot
• 1 Tongs or slotted spoon
• 1 Paper towel-lined plate
• 1 Shallow dish for coating mixture

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 Cup Water
• 1/4 Cup Unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1/4 Cup Sugar substitute (erythritol, monk fruit blend, stevia blend)
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 1 Cyp All-purpose flour
• 1 Large Egg
• Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
• 1/4 Cup Sugar substitute
• 1 Tsp Ground cinnamon
• 1/4 Tsp teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
• Pinch of ground cloves (optional)

Instructions

 

• Make the Dough:

   In a saucepan, heat water, butter, sugar substitute, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Immediately add flour and stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball.
• Incorporate Egg: 

  Remove pan from heat. Transfer dough to a large bowl and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
• Heat Oil: 

  Fill a deep fryer or large pot with 2 inches of oil. Heat to 360°F (180°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
• Pipe and Fry: 

  Transfer dough to the pastry bag. Pipe 4-5 inch ropes of dough directly into the hot oil, using a knife or scissors to cut the dough. Fry in batches until golden brown, flipping once.
• Drain and Coat: 

  Remove churros with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Immediately roll in the coating mixture.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy warm. Experiment with sugar-free dipping sauces like melted dark chocolate with a pinch of spice or a creamy peanut butter sauce.

Storage Guidance: Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day.

Recipe Notes:

• Sugar Substitute: Experiment with different options and adjust the quantity to your preferred level of sweetness.
• Spice Blend: Customize the spice blend with ginger, cardamom, or a touch of allspice.
• Frying in Batches: Prevent overcrowding the pan for even cooking and to maintain oil temperature.

Important Considerations:

• Sugar Substitute Flavor: Some sugar substitutes can have a slight aftertaste. Combining them with a balanced spice blend helps mask this.
• Texture: Sugar-free churros may have a slightly different texture compared to traditional versions.
