Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 10 soft caramel candies, unwrapped
  • 1 tbsp (14g) butter, softened
  • Pinch of sea salt flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying (about 4 cups / 950ml)

Instructions

  1. Make the churro batter: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (240ml) water, 2 tbsp (28g) melted butter, 2 tbsp (25g) sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves and mixture bubbles steadily.
  2. Remove saucepan from heat and quickly stir in 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour until mixture forms a ball and pulls away from sides.
  3. Let dough cool for about 5 minutes. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until smooth and glossy. If dough is too runny, add a little more flour.
  4. Prepare toffee filling: In a small bowl, combine soft caramel candies with 1 tbsp (14g) softened butter and a pinch of sea salt if using. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between, until smooth. Keep warm and pliable.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer or wooden spoon bubble test to check temperature.
  6. On a parchment-lined surface, spread a thin layer of churro batter. Quickly spoon or pipe small dollops of warm toffee filling onto batter, then cover with another thin layer of batter to seal. Alternatively, pipe churro strips, place toffee pieces inside, and fold over carefully.
  7. Cut assembled batter-toffee into bite-size pieces. Fry in batches in hot oil for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Avoid overcrowding to keep oil temperature steady.
  8. Remove churro toffee from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels briefly. While still warm, toss in a bowl with 1/2 cup (100g) sugar mixed with 2 tsp cinnamon until coated evenly.
  9. Serve warm. Best enjoyed fresh for crispy-toffee contrast. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady at 350°F (175°C) for best results. Add eggs slowly to avoid scrambling. Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature. Toss churro toffee in cinnamon sugar while warm for best coating adhesion. Reheat leftovers in oven to restore crispiness. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour; for dairy-free, use plant-based butter and caramel substitutes.
