Method

Mini Churros

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

In a medium pot, combine water, Wesson Corn Oil, sugar, vanilla and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add flour and beat until dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Add 1 egg and continue to beat until mixture comes together. Add remaining egg and beat until mixture is smooth. Transfer mixture to a large piping bag fitted with a medium-size star tip.

On the prepared baking sheets, pipe batter in long lines; freeze for 30 minutes or until batter is partially frozen and stiff.

Pre-heat Wesson Corn Oil in deep skillet or deep fryer to 350°F. †Amount of oil required may vary. Use at least 3 inches of oil in your pot to deep fry.

In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Remove sheets from freezer; cut pastry into 2-inch lengths. Fry churros in batches, turning halfway through for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil; let drain on a wire rack for 1 minute. Toss in cinnamon sugar.

Assembly Method

To Serve: Serve churros on their own or on top of scoops of your favourite vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce for a sweet churro sundae treat.
