How do I make these churro eclair doughnuts?
Heat the water, butter & sugar in a saucepan on a medium heat.
Once the butter has melted stir to combine, then add the salt & flour, stir fast until it forms a dough & comes away from the sides of the saucepan. Remove from the heat to cool completely.
Add the dough into a mixing bowl, then add one egg at a time. Mix together using the dough hook attachments on your hand mixer. Do not add the next egg until the first one is fully combined. If you add the eggs too fast the dough will become too soft.
Place a sheet of baking paper on a baking tray, then draw 6 x 8cm wide circles on a baking paper sheet.
Put an 6b open star tip in a piping bag then add the churro dough.
Pipe circles using the guides that you drew on the baking paper.
Bake the churro eclair doughnuts in the oven at 200c fan for 20 mins. If they are golden brown bake them for another 5 mins. If they are getting too brown take them out the oven. Turn off the oven and put them back in for 5 mins.
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon on a plate and cover the churros eclair doughnuts in the sugar. You will have to rub it on with your fingers to make it stick. (as they are baked and not fried)
