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

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 Cup Water
• 1/4 Cup Unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1 Tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 1 Cup All-purpose flour
• 1 Large Egg
• Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
• 4-6 Full-sized Kit Kat bars (or equivalent)

Instructions

 

• Make the Dough: 

  In a saucepan, heat water, butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Add Flour: 

  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. Use a knife or scissors to cut the dough. Fry in batches until golden brown, flipping once.
• Crush the Kit Kats:

  Food Processor: Pulse Kit Kats until finely crushed but with some slightly larger pieces.

  Manual: Place Kit Kats in a sturdy plastic bag. Crush with a rolling pin or mallet, leaving some varied pieces.
• Drain and Coat: 

  Remove freshly fried churros from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still slightly warm, roll in the crushed Kit Kat mixture, coating evenly.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy as a delightful twist on the classic churro. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture. Consider dipping in a white chocolate sauce for an extra layer of decadence.
