Ingredients
For the churros
250
ml
| 1 cup water
3
tbsp
sugar
½
tsp
salt
1
tsp
vanilla paste or extract
30
ml
| 1/8 cup vegetable oil
130
g
| 1 cup plain
all purpose flour, sifted
120
ml
| 1/2 cup aquafaba
2.3
lt | 2 quarts sunflower oil
Cinnamon sugar
200
g
| 1 cup granulated sugar
1
tbsp
ground cinnamon
Instructions
Add the water, sugar, salt, vanilla and oil in a large casserole or pot.
Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
Add the flour all at once and vigorously stir to combine.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the batter forms a ball.
Transfer the batter to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed to release some steam.
Gradually add the aquafaba, continuing to mix on low speed, until the dough is shiny and smooth.
Fit a large piping bag with a star tip. Spray a large piece of greaseproof paper with cake release (or cooking spray).
Transfer the batter to the piping bag and pipe 4 large hearts. Cut the paper so that each heart sits on a paper square.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together on a plate.
Put the oil into a large pot and heat until it reaches 190°C (374°F) on your Thermapen.
Once the oil reaches the right temperature, carefully lower one heart on its paper into the hot oil using tongs. The paper will peel off - discard it.
Cook for 3 minutes per side, keeping an eye on the oil with the Thermapen. Drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the other churros.
Toss the churros in the cinnamon sugar once they have cooled down slightly.
Serve immediately with coffee or hot chocolate.
