Notes

  • **You will need a donut pan
  • Storing: These churro donuts can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days. If they start to become a bit dry as the days go on, warm them in the microwave for 15 second intervals.
  • Freezing: You can freeze cooked and cooled churros donuts in a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months. Let them thaw on the countertop when they are ready to use.
  • Let the donuts cool before removing them from the pan, this will help keep them from crumbling while they are still hot.
  • If melting chocolate chips in the microwave, make sure you are melting in 30 second intervals to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • It’s important that the donut pan is greased fully to prevent the donuts from sticking.
  • Donuts should be topped with churro topping AFTER they are baked and fully cooled or the sugar will melt into them.
  • If you don’t have a donut pan, you can cook them in a muffin pan, just check and adjust the cooking time as needed.
