Short-Cut Churros
- Level: Easy
- Total: 40 min
- Active: 40 min
- Yield: 64 churros
Ingredients
3 cups vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
One 16-ounce tube ready-to-bake buttermilk biscuit dough
One 15-ounce jar fudge sauce, warmed slightly, for dipping
Directions
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches about 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Separate the biscuits, then gently press and elongate into 1/3-inch-thick rectangles. Cut each rectangle into 1/4-inch slices--you should get about 8 long slices per biscuit. Twist the ends of each slice in opposite directions 4 times.
- Fry the churros in batches, stirring and flipping as needed, about 30 seconds per batch.
- Remove the churros to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain, then toss in the cinnamon sugar.
- Serve warm with the fudge sauce on the side.
