Necessary Ingredients
To prepare this delightful dessert, you will need:
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
- A pinch of salt
- The finely grated zest of one orange
- 60 ml of freshly squeezed orange juice
- 125 g of solid yogurt or sour cream
- 280 g of flour
- 6 g of baking powder (1/2 packet)
- Sugar and vanilla sugar for rolling
Step-by-Step Procedure
Preparing the Orange
Before starting, thoroughly wash the orange with cold water and rub it with baking soda to remove any residue. Then, rinse and dry it before finely grating the zest with a grater.
Preparing the Mixture
In a deep bowl, crack the egg and add the two tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt, and the grated orange zest. Beat well with kitchen whisks until all the ingredients are combined, and the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the two tablespoons of oil and continue to beat vigorously to incorporate it into the mixture.
Incorporating the Flour
In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and sift it. Gradually add the flour to the liquid mixture, mixing well after each addition until you achieve a homogeneous, smooth, and semi-liquid mixture.
Heating the Oil
Heat plenty of oil in a pot or pan to a moderate temperature. Ensure there is at least 2 cm depth of oil.
Cooking the Churros
Dip kitchen scissors into the hot oil and squeeze elongated strips of the mixture into the oil. You can cut the strips with the scissors to make the churros the size you desire. Fry them until golden on all sides.
Rolling in Sugar and Vanilla
Remove the churros from the oil with a slotted spoon and roll them in a mixture of sugar and vanilla sugar to give them a sweet and aromatic touch.
Ready to Serve!
Now that you’ve prepared these delicious homemade churros in just 5 minutes, serve them while they’re hot and enjoy them with your favorite beverage. You won’t be able to resist their flavor and soft texture!
