Ingridients
For Churro:
1/2 cup – butter, unsalted1 cup – water
1 cup – flour, all purpose
3 – eggs
1/2 T – honey
1/2 T – sugar
1 1/2 tsp. – vanilla
as needed – non-stick spray
as needed – vegetable oil (for frying)
For Honey Chili Sauce: 5 T – honey
3 T – Chili Paste (Sambal)
Directions: Melt butter and water in a saucepan. Add flour and stir continuously. Keep stirring over the heat until the mixture thickens and comes together to form a smooth ‘ball’. Remove from the heat and stir in the eggs one at a time. Add the honey, sugar and vanilla and mix well. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle. Apply non-stick spray to a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Pipe out small spiral shapes with the dough. In a sauce pot heat oil to 360°F. Once oil is hot, drop the churro spirals into the oil one by one, using a spatula. Turn on each side until golden brown in color. Remove from oil and place onto absorbent paper. Let cool. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together honey and chili paste. Stir well. Once churros are cool, brush the churros with the honey chili sauce using a pastry brush, or use the sauce as a dip. Serve immediately.
