Easy Eggless Churros Recipe
There are some foods that I can’t just have one, Churros are one of them! And I’m sure you will be just like me if you try this Easy Homemade Eggless Churros recipe.
Back home they are extremely popular. The ones filled with chocolate or dulce de leche are my favorites. We used to go to a little charming old town named “El Hatillo”, that is known for selling the best Churros con chocolate in the city.
There is something about Churros that says “comfort” to me. A batch of fresh Churros and a cup of hot cocoa are like heaven on earth.

Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down).
How to make eggless churros:
- Make the dough: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the water, salt, sugar, and olive oil. Bring the mixture to a boil then remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour and baking powder, mixing with a wooden spoon until it forms a ball and all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Let the dough rest while the oil heat.
- Heat about 2 – 4 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 375ºF. You need enough oil to deep fry the churros.
- Transfer the dough to a cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Fry churros: Squeeze a 5-6-inch strip of dough into the hot oil. Repeat, frying 3 or 4 strips at a time. Fry the churros, turning them once, until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked churros to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Roll churros in sugar.
- Serve and enjoy!
PRO TIPS:
- It’s very important that you mix the dough very well to make sure all the water is absorbed. This will prevent oil explosions when frying. Make sure to check out the recipe video.
- When you are making this at home make sure to use a heavy-duty piping bag or it will split open and the mixture will burst out.
- When frying the churros stand back to avoid any splatters. Also, make sure that all your utensils are dry to avoid any oil explosion.
- Using a frying thermometer to keep the oil temperature under control is highly recommended.
