INGREDIENTS
- Flour: 1 cup, to form the churro dough
- Water: 1 cup, to help create the dough
- Mini marshmallows: for stuffing inside the churro dough
- Graham cracker sugar: a mixture of crushed graham crackers and sugar, for rolling the fried churro nuggets
- Melted chocolate: for dipping, to complete the s'mores experience
INSTRUCTIONS
- Step 1:
- Heat the water in a saucepan until it begins to simmer.
- Step 2:
- Slowly add the flour to the simmering water, stirring continuously until the dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Step 3:
- Take small pieces of dough and roll them into balls. Stuff each ball with a mini marshmallow, making sure to seal the dough around it.
- Step 4:
- Heat oil in a fryer or deep saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the churro balls in batches until golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Step 5:
- Roll the freshly fried churro nuggets in a mixture of crushed graham crackers and sugar to give them the perfect sweet, crispy coating.
- Step 6:
- Serve warm with a side of melted chocolate for dipping. Enjoy the delicious contrast of gooey marshmallow centers and crispy churro exteriors!
Serving and Storage Tips
- Serve these churro nuggets warm, straight out of the fryer, for the best gooey marshmallow texture.
- If you have leftovers, reheat them in the oven to maintain their crispiness. However, they're best enjoyed fresh!
Helpful Notes
- For a fun twist, try stuffing the churro nuggets with different fillings, like chocolate or caramel, along with the marshmallows.
- Crush the graham crackers finely for a smoother coating, or leave them slightly coarse for extra texture.
Tips from Well-Known Chefs
- Chef José Andrés: For perfectly crispy churros, make sure your oil is at the right temperature (350°F) and fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
