Cinnamon Sugar Churro Bites Recipe

For our churro recipe, we are making them with fried dough as we believe them to be as close to the Disney Theme Parks recipe. You can of course change the recipe into air fryer churros or even instant pot churro bites, but we chose this recipe for the more authentic taste.

Here are a few other questions you might have before you get started:

Can You Make These Without a Candy Thermometer?

Yes, you can still make these little bites without a thermometer. Heat the oil at medium-high heat. Test with a small bit of the churro dough and place it into the hot oil. If it begins to fry, the oil temperature is hot enough.

What Piping Bags and Piping Tips Work Best for Churros?

For the piping bags or pastry bags, any pastry bag will work for this dough. To get the traditional churro shape though, in terms of a piping tip, you will need a large star tip.

How To Make Churro Bites

In a pan or pot, add the water, butter, salt, and cinnamon. While on medium heat melt everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.
Turn the heat on low.
Add all the flour at once and stir quickly and vigorously to evenly mix the ingredients as a dough ball will form quickly. Immediately remove from the heat when that happens.
Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a bowl and stir in the eggs, one at a time until combined.
Start heating the vegetable oil in your frying pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spoon dough into a piping bag that has a large star tip.
Once that is filled begin squeezing 2-3 inch long churro bites into the hot oil and cut the dough with a kitchen shear at its desired length.
Fry the churro bites until golden brown all around and then remove and drain from the oil placing on a napkin or parchment paper covered plate
In a bowl mix the sugar and cinnamon for the churro’s topping.
Place each churro bite in the cinnamon-sugar mixture bowl and toss around to coat thoroughly.
Serve while still warm and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

Our favorite dipping sauce is chocolate ganache sauce (4oz chocolate and 2 tablespoon heavy cream) melted together in the microwave or double boiler. But they are just as good with caramel sauce too!

How To Store Churro Bites

Place your bites in an airtight container at room temperature with parchment paper in between layers for up to two weeks.

We hope you enjoy these as much as we did making them!
