Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for coating)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for coating)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
- Using your hands, roll the dough into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the churro bites are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the churro bites cool for about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the extra granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the warm churro bites in the mixture until they are fully coated.
