Are Churros a Breakfast or a Dessert?
Traditionally, churros are served as breakfast in Spain, particularly as breakfast for festive days and Sundays. Churros as street food are consumed by youngsters after a long night out at 6 a.m. before they finally return home. Some people take the churros home to share this treat with their family.
Churros are eaten as a snack, especially in cold or rainy weather. They are not a popular dessert on their own as they are fried and heavy. They may accompany a dessert such as chocolate ice cream, chocolate mousse, or chocolate pudding.
Tips for making delicious churros:
- Preheat the oil in a pan over low heat while you make the dough.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil temperature before and during frying the churros.
- You can experiment with the number of eggs in the recipe. Three eggs will give an annoyingly predominant egg flavor, while two eggs will make the mixture rise and have a richer flavor. However, some people feel that adding only one egg is sufficient.
- Always use a piping tip with a closed star and rounded off edges. It will give clearly defined edges that allow a crispier texture and the classical churro formation.
- It is better to remove the mixture from the stove before mixing the eggs. This is essential if your egg curdles while mixing and takes the appearance of scrambled eggs.
- Do not leave the churros alone while they are frying. Vigilance is essential to ensure that the churros are equally cooked from all sides. Bring them gradually to a golden brown color. Undercooked sides do not get crispy and remain uncooked from inside.
- Use paper towels to absorb the extra oil before you roll the churros in cinnamon sugar. Wet or oily churros absorb too much sugar, and the coating becomes thick. On the other hand, excessively dried churros will not stick the sugar coating properly. You can wait for approximately 15 seconds before rolling them.
- Churros are served best when warm.
- If you will fry the churros in oil that is not hot enough, they will become soft and will not get their crispy texture.
How to reheat churros?
As churros are fried food, it tastes best when served warm and fresh. If you have some leftover churros or made them ahead of time, you can reheat them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 10 minutes.
If you are reheating churros in a microwave, wrap them in a paper towel and place them on a plate. Then heat them for 1 minute. Reheat if the churros aren’t warm enough after one minute.
