Tips for making Churro Christmas trees?

  1. When you make the churro dough, do not add the eggs at the same time. Add them one at a time, making sure each one is mixed into the dough before you add the next one. Otherwise the dough will be too soft and runny.
  2. To make sure the outside does not burn and the inside is cooked, fry the churros on low to medium heat.
  3. Place the freshly fried churros on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil, then coat on sugar.

How do you make churro Christmas trees?

  1. To make the churros: Heat the water, butter & sugar in a saucepan.
  2. Add the salt & flour, stir until it forms a dough & comes away from the sides of the saucepan. Remove from the heat to cool.
  3. Stir in the eggs, one at a time until the churro dough is nice and smooth. Spoon into a piping bag, pipe 5 circles on to a lined baking sheet/tray that can fit in the freezer. Pipe 5 sizes gradually getting bigger. The 2nd top circle pipe as a swirl with no hole in the middle. The last churro pipe in a cone shape to make the top.
  4. Freeze the churros until solid, then fry until golden brown & cooked all the way through. Low to medium temp so the inside cooks as well.
  5. Place on paper towels to soak up any excess oil, then dust in cinnamon sugar whilst still hot.
  6. Stack the churro christmas trees, then drizzle with melted chocolate.
