Certainly! Churro donut holes are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of churros with the bite-sized goodness of donut holes. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
For the Donut Holes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop small portions of batter into the hot oil, frying until golden brown. Make sure to turn them for even cooking. It should take about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Remove the donut holes from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
- While the donut holes are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
- Serve the churro donut holes warm and enjoy!
These churro donut holes are best when fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to enjoy later. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet treat for any occasion!
