Churros

From 'Overwatch: The Official Cookbook' by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel
 
Churros These sweet lengths of fried dough have a crispy exterior but a soft interior. Overwatch's reaper describes them as 'as sweet as revenge'.

Ingredients
  • 100g sugar, plus 1½ tbsp more
  • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus more for frying
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 136g plain flour
 
Recipe
  1. Combine the 100g sugar with the ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl and set aside for coating the churros.
  2. Line a plate with paper towels and set near the stove. Pour the vegetable oil into a medium saucepan, 2 inches deep. Heat the oil on a medium heat to 190°C
  3. Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan over a medium heat, combine the water, remaining sugar, salt, and 2 tbsp of vegetable oil, and cook until the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture is just about to boil.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour, mixing until smooth.
  5. Transfer the warm dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  6. When the frying oil has reached temperature, hold the piping bag over the pot and squeeze out a length of the churros mix about 4 inches long, and snip it off with scissors so it falls into the hot oil. Do this with several churros at a time, frying for a couple of minutes until they’re golden brown on all sides.
  7. Remove the cooked churros to the plate lined with paper towels to drain, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar and serve.
