Step-by-Step Instructions for Gluten Free Churros
- Sift together the Cup4Cup gluten-free flour and cornstarch (if using) in a medium bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Once simmering, add the dry ingredients and stir vigorously until the dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Return the pan to low heat and stir for an additional minute to slightly dry out the dough.
- Transfer the dough to a food processor and let it cool for about 5 minutes, then pulse briefly.
- With the food processor running, gradually add 3-4 room-temperature eggs until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and chill for 15-30 minutes.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 360°F using a kitchen thermometer to maintain accuracy.
- Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil and fry for 90 seconds to 2 minutes per side.
- Once golden, drain the churros on a plate lined with paper towels and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
