Butterscotch Churros

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, caster sugar, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine.

   Tip: Use a whisk attachment for easier mixing.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure to break up any lumps in the mixture.

3. 3

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until a dough forms.

   Tip: Don't overmix the dough.

4. 4

   Add the butterscotch syrup, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper to the dough and mix until well combined.

   Tip: The syrup will make the dough sticky, so be careful not to overmix.

5. 5

   Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

   Tip: This will allow the flour to absorb the liquid ingredients.

6. 6

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 180°C.

   Tip: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.

7. 7

   Pipe the dough into long, thin strips and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

   Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan, fry in batches if necessary.

8. 8

   Remove the churros from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

   Tip: Be careful when removing the churros from the oil, as they will be hot.

9. 9

   Dust the churros with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

   Tip: You can also serve with a side of butterscotch sauce for dipping.
