how to store Homemade Churro Bites with Nutella

tips to make Homemade Churro Bites with Nutella

1. Don’t skip the cooling time: Letting the mixture cool a bit before adding the eggs helps prevent the eggs from cooking.
2. Fry in batches: Fry only a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the pot, which can lower the oil temperature.
3. Use a candy thermometer: This helps ensure that the oil is at the right temperature for frying, resulting in perfectly crispy churros.

variation

You can try adding different toppings or dips! Instead of Nutella, consider using chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or even whipped cream for a fun twist. You can also add some crushed nuts or sprinkles on top after coating them in sugar and cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.

FAQs

1. Can I bake these churro bites instead of frying them?

   • Baked churro bites won’t have the same crispy texture as fried ones, but you can try baking them at a high temperature for a healthier option.

2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?

   • Yes, you can prepare the dough and store it in the refrigerator for a few hours before frying.

3. What kind of oil should I use for frying?

   • Vegetable oil or canola oil works best for frying churros as they have a high smoke point.
