Ingredients

Scale

Donut Batter

  • 2 cups plain flour (300g)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (75g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/3 cups milk (320ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled (120g)

Churro Topping

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (for coating)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (120g)
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon spice

Chocolate Ganache

  • 1/2 cup chopped chocolate (90g)
  • 2 tablespoons cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla essence, and melted cooled butter until well combined.
  2. Create the Batter: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and lump-free, resulting in a pourable batter.
  3. Bake the Donuts: Spoon or pipe the batter into a DIY doughnut tin. Place the tin in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the donuts turn a light golden color. Allow the donuts to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack and removing the tin foil carefully.
  4. Prepare the Topping: While the donuts cool, melt 1/4 cup of butter in a small bowl. In another small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
  5. Make the Chocolate Ganache: Melt the chopped chocolate either in the microwave or over a bain-marie. Once melted, stir in the cream until the ganache becomes shiny and thick enough to coat the donuts.
  6. Assemble the Donuts: Brush each cooled donut with the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat all sides. Finally, dip the top half of each donut into the chocolate ganache to generously coat with chocolate. Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade churro donut bites!

Notes

  • Ensure the melted butter for the batter is cooled to prevent cooking the eggs during mixing.
  • Use a doughnut tin or muffin tin lined with foil to shape the donut bites.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using a different size or type of pan.
  • The chocolate ganache can be adjusted in thickness by adding more cream for a thinner glaze or more chocolate for a thicker coating.
  • Store leftover donut bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
