Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup water
- Mini marshmallows
Supporting Ingredients:
- Graham cracker sugar (crushed graham crackers + sugar)
Finishing Ingredients:
- Melted chocolate (for dipping)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer over medium heat, preparing for dough creation.
- Gradually incorporate flour into the simmering water, stirring vigorously until a cohesive, smooth dough forms and separates from the pan’s sides.
- Pinch small portions of dough and carefully craft compact spheres, embedding a mini marshmallow at the center and meticulously sealing the exterior to prevent leakage.
- Preheat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to 350F, ensuring consistent temperature for optimal frying.
- Carefully lower dough balls into hot oil, frying in small batches until they transform into a rich, golden-brown exterior with a crisp texture, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Immediately transfer fried nuggets to a mixture of crushed graham crackers and granulated sugar, gently rolling to create a delectable, textured coating.
- Plate the churro nuggets alongside a warm, velvety chocolate dipping sauce, allowing the molten marshmallow center to provide a luxurious, gooey surprise with each bite.
Notes
- Marshmallow Technique Carefully seal the marshmallow inside the dough to prevent leaking during frying, ensuring a perfect molten center.
- Oil Temperature Precision Maintain consistent oil temperature at 350F to achieve crispy exterior without burning, using a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation Replace wheat flour with a gluten-free blend to accommodate dietary restrictions while maintaining the churro’s signature texture.
- Make-Ahead Strategy Prepare churro nuggets in advance and reheat in an air fryer to restore crispiness, perfect for party planning or quick dessert.
