| Yield: | 6 servings (about 12 to 15 churros) |
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- 2 1/4 cups pancake mix
- Pinch allspice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Chocolate syrup, for dipping, optional
Instructions
- Fill a large, wide pot with about 1 1/2 inches of oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the pancake mix, allspice and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a large bowl. Add the hot water and whisk until well combined. Spoon the dough into a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip.
- Combine the sugar and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl, then transfer to a sugar shaker (or use a small mesh strainer).
- When the oil has reached temperature, carefully pipe approximately 3-inch tubes of batter directly into the oil, working in batches if necessary and using a knife to cut the dough between churros. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 3 minutes per batch. Drain the churros very briefly on a paper-towel-lined plate, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
- Serve immediately with chocolate sauce on the side for dipping if using.

Reviews
Almost blew up my house thanks to these directions. Thanks for nothing
It’s pretty good! Love the allspice/sugar mix – I was wary about the pancake mix but it really doesn’t taste like pancakes! It’s almost like a really dense beignet. It’s exactly what it says on the tin – deep fried bread. My entire house is full of smoke now but if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn’t have hot dogs
This recipe was amazing! I just needed a quick and simple recipe to make churros and I got one!
Trisha’s Chicken Pie is a family favorite and I’ve always had good luck with her recipes. Bummed that these did not turn out for me. Is there a recommended brand of pancake mix? I wonder if that may have been my issue.
