Instructions
Creating Baked Churro Bites can be straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil over medium heat. Stir frequently to melt the butter.
4. Combine Ingredients: Once boiling, remove from heat and add the dry ingredients to the saucepan. Stir until a smooth dough forms.
5. Incorporate Eggs: Allow the dough to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully combined and smooth.
6. Shape the Dough: Use a small cookie scoop or a piping bag to form bite-sized pieces of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there’s space between each piece.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the churro bites are golden brown.
8. Prepare Coating: While the bites are baking, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
9. Coat Churro Bites: Once baked, remove the churro bites from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. While they are still warm, roll each bite in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
