Sweet Churro Funnel Cake

Funnel Cake & Churros in my opinion ( or at least in my brainchild) go together like Peanut Butter & Jelly.

They are both enjoyed during outdoor events , the sugary sweet smell of each one wafting in the air are ridiculous!

The instant the sweet smell hit's your nose you have one desire......to find the Señor or Señorita selling them and get one into your belly instantamente! 

Well guess what? 

With this recipe there is no need to hop in your car, or leave your warm casa at all.

There will be no need to pay super loca carnival or amusement park prices to feed your need for hot crispy bites of sugary goodness.

Nope!

I have provided you the recipe for everything you need to become your very own in house professional funnel cake infused Churro maker!

Seriously, these are so good that your familia and amigos will insist that you purchase a food truck name it "ChurroTastic"! And take all your sugary magic on the road!

Powdered Sugar & Cinnamon mixed, for sugar sprinkle

Vamos a La Cocina!

                                                                     Directions

 

1. Prepare Tres Estrellas Churro Mix and set aside;

 

2. Now for the funnel cake,combine milk, egg, vanilla in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar and gradually add to wet ingredients.

 

3.Beat with a mixer until a smooth batter forms. Fold in melted butter. Add in 1/2 cup premade Churro batter, mix until well incorporated. Pour batter into a funnel or squeeze bottle while using your index finger to stop the flow of the batter.

 

4.Bring the funnel over the hot oil and release your finger to start a stream of batter while moving the funnel in a circular motion to create circular swirls, I actually tried to make mine into the letter "C" for Churro. Go slowly to make sure that you don't break the flow of the batter. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed. Sprinkle with cinnamon infused powdered sugar.
