Imagine something like a Taco Bell cinnamon twist, but it doesn’t cut up the roof of your mouth with the extra crispiness. I give you… baked churros! So not QUITE a churro like you would get at the fair, but close enough for a Taco Tuesday night in! These are best served warm right away, but they do refrigerate nicely and can be zapped in the microwave later. To note: I let the puff pastry thaw for about 30 minutes on the counter top before starting. If it feels too stiff to unfold the pastry, let it sit for a bit longer.
Baked Churros
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 Puff Pastry Sheet (slightly thawed from the freezer)
- 4 Tbsp Butter (melted)
- ½ cup Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
Instructions
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and preheat oven to 400 °F
- Unfold the puff pastry and use a pizza cutter to slice (long ways - like a churro shape) into 1 inch thick pieces and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake the strips for 10 minutes at 400 °F
- While the churros are baking: melt the butter and set aside, and mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- When the churros are done baking, brush the melted butter on both sides of the churros and sprinkle the cinnamon & sugar mixture over the churros evenly.
- Serve with chocolate sauce for dipping.
You should have about 10 to 12 strips of the puff pastry.
