I Made Churros Today

In the Kitchen with Diana

10 Apr

Churro ingredients www.stampingwithdi.com

I saw a recipe for churros and I thought hey I should try and make them, it seemed easy enough. I got my ingredients ready.

Churro mixed www.stampingwithdi.com

Here is the batter before you add the 3 eggs. This is for 4 servings.

Churro pastry bag www.stampingwithdi.com

I got my pastry bag ready for the batter while my oil heated up.  I had the wrong tip because I had used my other one for my faux cupcakes, and once you use them for fake food you can never use them for real food.  I will have to order another one…so I used this one as that was the only one I had.

This was the size saucepan the recipe said to use. I got the oil to the right temp and started to add my batter.

Churro first batch www.stampingwithdi.com

This was the first batch draning on my valuable paper towels.

Churro sugar and cinnamon www.stampingwithdi.com

I hoped these were good enough to use half a cup of my also valuable sugar and some cinnamon. So then I kept cooking more and now I see that not only is it 4 servings, but you really needed 4 people to do it. I needed someone to cut the batter with the scissors as I needed 2 hands to squish it out of the too small tip. Plus the danged pot was too small and about the third batch it started to bubble and I had to take it off the stove and had to hold it over a dish as the oil bubbled out of the pan. This is where another person would have been handy to get the other bigger pan out of the cupboard.

This was reminding me of when I burned my Mum and Dad's kitchen (that also was grease too I believe). So I poured the oil in the bigger pan and added more oil as it was not deep enough and heat it up again. The whole time thinking my every growing buttocks really does not need these greasy sugar things…but I was determined.

Churro longer www.stampingwithdi.com

Then I was like I am making them longer so I was not standing there all morning making churros.

Churro who cares what shape www.stampingwithdi.com

Then I was like I don't even care what shape they are.

Churros finished www.stampingwithdi.com

Here are the finished one and only time I will make churros.

Churro dishes www.stampingwithdi.com

These are the dirty dishes from my baking session.

Churro stovetop mess www.stampingwithdi.com

The stovetop was a greasy mess.

Churro bite www.stampingwithdi.com

They were not that bad, but am certain the smaller tip made them skinnier than they should have been. I remember them being doughier.

Then I got to thinking do I even like churros? Nope is the answer. Not mine anyway.

Oh and today is my birthday Jeff asked what I wanted and I said I didn't need anything. I said does it count if we can't celebrate on my day? So I don't think it does.  I told him when this is all over we will go out for supper…till then, churros anyone? Urp!

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
