What baking sheet to use?
Unlike for cookies, I try to use a thinner baking sheet for everything else. The churros do not take as long on a thinner baking sheet compared to a thicker baking sheet. A Teflon extra nonstick pan would work just fine! You can get these for under $10.
Favorite ingredient brands to use for this easy baked churros recipe:
*puff pastry-I used store bought. You can home make your puff pastry too if you want! You can also make a homemade puffy pastry recipe.Â
*butter- stick butter
*sugar-C&H cane sugar
*cinnamon-McCormick
Toppings for eggless churros:
Some people like to put syrup on their churros! You can also serve pudding on them or chocolate. Whipped cream or ice cream would also be good flavors.
If you have leftover puff pastry, you can fill it with chocolate.
How to make excellent churros with puffy pastry:
- cut puff pastry-I cut mine into about 4-6 inch strips. You could probably cut these into whatever size you would like though. Bake the puff pastry according to directions
- prepare butter and sugar and cinnamon-the butter helps the cinnamon/sugar mixture stick to the puff pastry. You might need more or less cinnamon and sugar or butter depending on how hard you push the puff pastry into the cinnamon and sugar mixture. I have made this recipe multiple times, and the ratios never fail me! No leftover cinnamon/sugar or butter to throw out when I get done.
How to store oven baked churros:
- fridge-store this easy dessert recipe in an air tight container at room temperature for about a week
- freeze-I have not tried freezing this recipe. If you want to try it and freeze it, let me know how it goes. I do not know how these churros would thaw out though.
