Burger King Churro Fries Recipe
I still remember the first time I tried the Burger King Churro Fries Recipe. I was standing in the drive-thru, a little skeptical.
Equipment
- Medium Saucepan
- Wooden Spoon
- Piping bag
- Large Star Tip (Wilton 1M)
- Kitchen Scissors
- Deep Heavy-Bottomed Pot or Dutch Oven
- Instant-Read or Deep-Fry Thermometer
- Paper Towels
- Shallow Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar (for dough)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar (for coating)
- 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Cinnamon Sugar and Oil
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl. Set it aside. Pour the vegetable oil into your Dutch oven and heat to 360°F over medium-high heat. - Step 2: Cook the Dough Base
Combine water, butter, sugar, and salt in your saucepan. Bring it to a full boil over medium heat. Once boiling, take it off the heat immediately. - Step 3: Add the Flour
Dump all the flour in at once. Stir fast and hard with your wooden spoon until a smooth dough ball forms. Put it back on low heat for 1-2 minutes to dry it out slightly. - Step 4: Cool and Add Eggs
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until the dough is glossy and smooth. - Step 5: Pipe the Churro Fries
Spoon the dough into your piping bag fitted with the large star tip. Carefully pipe 5-inch strips directly over the hot oil and snip each one off with kitchen scissors. - Step 6: Fry Until Golden
Fry 4-5 churro fries at a time for 2-3 minutes per side until deep golden brown. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels for one minute. - Step 7: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
Roll each hot churro fry immediately in the cinnamon sugar mixture. The coating sticks best when they are still warm from the fryer. Do not wait. - Step 8: Make the Chocolate Dipping Sauce
Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan or microwave. Pour it over the chocolate chips. Stir until completely smooth and glossy. Serve warm alongside the churro fries.
Notes
➜ Always pipe the dough into oil right away, never let it sit out first.
➜ Roll churros in cinnamon sugar immediately while still hot so it sticks.
➜ Fry in small batches of 4-5 to keep oil temperature steady.
➜ Use a thermometer to maintain oil at 360°F throughout frying.
➜ If dough is too thick to pipe, add one more egg and stir well.
➜ Never overcrowd the pot or you will get chewy, greasy fries.
➜ Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the dipping sauce.
