Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
-
Gather your required ingredients.
-
In a saucepan, heat water, butter, agave syrup, and salt over medium heat until the butter melts.
-
Reduce heat and add brown rice flour and potato starch, stirring constantly until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the pan.
-
Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Add Eggs & Vanilla
-
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the dough while adding eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
-
Add vanilla extract and continue mixing until smooth. The dough should be thick and pipeable.
Fry the Churros
-
Heat oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F).
-
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
-
Carefully pipe strips of the dough into the hot oil, cutting with scissors. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per side).
-
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Dust & Serve
-
Mix cinnamon and dry powdered coconut milk in a bowl.
-
Roll warm churros in the dusting mix or sprinkle over the top.
-
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (chocolate, caramel, or fruit compote).
