How to Make Sweet Churro Donut Bites

Step 1: Gather and whisk dry ingredients for Sweet Churro Donut Bites

I like starting with dry ingredients first. It keeps me organized on busy days. For Sweet Churro Donut Bites, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Step 2: Whisk wet ingredients—milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla—for Sweet Churro Donut Bites

In a separate bowl, mix milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. The wet mix should look glossy and smooth. This is the base that makes the bites tender yet sturdy.

Step 3: Combine wet and dry to form a thick batter for Sweet Churro Donut Bites

Pour the wet into the dry. Stir just until a thick, cohesive batter forms. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) for Sweet Churro Donut Bites

Fill a deep skillet with oil. Heat to 350°F; test with a tiny batter drop. Use a thermometer for accuracy and safety.

Step 5: Fry batter spoonfuls 2–3 minutes per side until golden for Sweet Churro Donut Bites

Drop small scoops into the hot oil. Fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden. I fry in small batches to stay crisp.

Step 6: Drain, roll warm bites in cinnamon sugar for Sweet Churro Donut Bites

Drain on paper towels while warm. Roll in cinnamon sugar to coat evenly. Warm bites soak up the coating best.

Step 7: Serve immediately while warm and fluffy for Sweet Churro Donut Bites

Serve immediately for maximum fluff. If needed, keep warm in a low oven for a few minutes. Enjoy the pop of cinnamon with every bite.

• Have cinnamon-sugar ready in a shallow bowl for quick, even coating on the hot bites.

• Thermometer (candy or oil) to hit 350°F
• Slotted spoon or spider for lifting bites
• Baking sheet with paper towels for draining
