Vanilla Dusted Churros

Ingredients

• canola, peanut, or vegetable oil for frying
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp sugar
• pinch salt
• 2 tsp Amoretti® Natural Cinnamon Bun W.S. Extract
• ⅔ cup flour
• 1 egg

• Amoretti® Caramel Dessert Sauce
• Amoretti® Milk Chocolate Dessert Sauce
• Amoretti® Raspberry Dessert Sauce

• deep-fry thermometer
• large piping bag fitted with star tip
• paring knife
• slotted spoon or spider
• large shallow bowl & spoon for tossing in sugar

Directions

1. Have 3-4" oil in a deep pot, preheating to 350°F.
2. In a separate pot, bring the water, butter, sugar, salt, and Natural Cinnamon Bun Extract to a boil. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until combined, then turn off heat.
3. Let stand for a few minutes to cool then add the egg and stir vigorously to bind it together. Place in the piping bag with star tip.
4. Double-check the temperature of the oil before frying and have Vanilla Bean Dusting Powder in a shallow bowl. Also, have a plate ready for the finished churros.
5. Place the tip of the piping bag close to the oil and begin to pipe out the batter. Using the back of the paring knife, cut the dough from the bag once it is the desired size.
6. Repeat. Do not crowd the pan, it will lower the oil temperature too much and they will stick to each other.
7. Once they start to turn golden brown, flip with a slotted spoon and cook through.
8. Allow excess oil to drip off a bit before transferring to Dusting Power. Toss with a separate spoon to fully coat, then transfer to the final plate.
9. Serve immediately, dipping in your preferred dessert sauce.

• If the tip on your piping bag is large enough, the churros can be injected with the dessert sauce of your choice.
