Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Puree
If using fresh or frozen blueberries, blend them in a small food processor until smooth. Strain the puree to remove seeds and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a medium saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, butter, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts.
Remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Step 3: Incorporate the Flavors
Let the dough cool for 5 minutes. Then mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and blueberry puree. Stir until smooth. If you want a more vibrant blue color, add the gel food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat about 2–3 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Step 5: Pipe the Churros
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4–5-inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the ends. Fry 3–4 churros at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Step 6: Fry the Churros
Fry the churros for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove them with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 7: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
Step 8: Serve and Celebrate
Your Dodger Blue Churros are ready to enjoy! Serve them fresh with your favorite dipping sauce or simply on their own. These are the perfect treat for celebrating the Dodgers’ historic 2024 World Series win
