Our churro maker finally arrived yesterday, just a few days late for our Disneyland at Home adventure, BUT not to late to still enjoy, while watching @pixar Coco 💀🎸after watching @netflix Nailed It! (Hence the references 😆) We actually opted out of the Disneyland recipe (as we heard from a few people that it lacked flavor) and went with a “Mexican Churro” recipe (which we slightly tweaked, that was included with our Churro Maker...

Here’s how we made our gluten free churros, which my husband even said “I would never guess these were gluten free” 🙌🏾
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 4 cups vegetable or canola oil(for frying)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup gluten free all purpose flour (we used the Trader Joe’s brand)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
(For sugar coating)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Heat oil in large pot over medium heat.
2. In a sauce pan add water, butter, salt and vanilla over medium heat and stir until butter is fully melted and the mixture begins to simmer.
3. Remove from heat and stir in flour.
4. Add one egg at a time, folding into the dough and mashing until fully combined.
5. Fill churro maker (or pastry bag with decorating tip) with dough.
6. Pipe the dough into the hot oil doing only 3-4 at a time.
7. Cook until dough puffs and the turn a nice golden brown.
8. Remove on place on a paper towel covered plate. Repeat until dough is gone.
9. Once churros have cooled enough to handle, place in a large ziplock bag filled with sugar and cinnamon and Shake, Shake, Shake! 2-3 at a time until complete.
