When I went to Spain I had so many churros that the local chefs greeted me with: "Oh, the Churros Girl is coming" whenever they saw me 😄
Thank you Frank...now I have no excuse for walking to the Mexican restaurant on the corner to get my churros. This channel is going to ensure I don't lose any of the weight I've put on in the last year.
In Spain, churros are one of those foods you sometimes get when the party ends and you're still drunk, often served by a sweaty guy and cooked in a probably overused low quality oil... And they are delicious :)
They also have a variety called "porras" that are stuffed with chocolate or pastry cream, all of these things are more of a winter/christmas food, mostly sold in street food posts called "churrrerías".
Me and my friends went to Madrid and Toledo absolutely beautiful and great people, and I understand why people say the Italian and Spanish kitchens are the finest in the world now :)
@@Grandmaster-Kush glad you enjoyed it! One of the reasons why food is good here is how much fresh produce we have, you can find very high quality beef and pork meat, as well as fish and various veggies, and depending on which zone of the country you're in, we have different specialties and typical recipes. As long as you stay away from tourist traps, food will always be a good experience here :)
We were in Barcelona December of 2019 and had some great churros & porras.
@@ProtoCookswithChefFrank peak season then! Churros are rarely done in homes, but the chocolate is more common around those dates, and yours really brought back some memories of my childhood, waking up to a huge pot of hot thick chocolate :)
that shoutout to your colleague is great!
Always nice to see people lifting eachother up, even if it is "just" for a side hobby!
“I’m gonna share with my camera lady” 🖤☺️
started watching this guy for his screen charisma,ended up actually taking an interest in cooking and its peculiarities
A few years back, while living in Seoul, South Korea, there was an older gentleman who had a food truck that showed up every Friday evening to the south side of the Han River to make churros. They were the best damn churros I had tasted since leaving southern California 25 years prior. Currently living in a part of the globe they are hard to come by, so I will take this as a sign I should try and make some. Mahalo, Chef Frank!
Hey Chef Frank!
Thanks for taking the time. I love the history lesson and the breakdown of where the taste is coming from.
keep them coming please!
There's a churro place by me that's owned by a mexican family. These things are like a foot long. DELICIOUS
I MADE THESE AND I CANT STOP EATING THEM
Great job frank you’re doing amazing
Thanks so much
I get mine at the border from Tijuana into San Diego, they have a cart setup and you can see them cut the dough and fry it before they place them in small brown paper bags.
There's a cool little place near me called "Churros Y Chocolate" and they're top notch. Made from scratch, and you're able to see them make everything through the glass panel they have.
OMG FRANK.... only just now found your channel and so so glad to see you have one! :D absolutely love you on the epicurious channel, excited to see more of the salt master himself!
In Argentina people like to fill the churros with Dulce de leche, you should try that
I will! Sounds great.
I am from Argentina the churros there are like the Spanish ones but they are sticks. I remember that they would be filled up. My favourites had Dulce de leche inside. BTW Dulce de leche us super easy to make if you want to do it.
It is. I made some yesterday.
The **best** churros we ever enjoyed were from a street cart just up the beach from Puerto Vallarta in Mexico! It was operated by a family that would roll out onto a certain corner after sunset, and they would pipe them into enormous spirals that were as big as my head!!! 💜💜💜 Sometimes, we would dip them in our atole. I usually make sopapillas or buñuelos, because I haven't had piping tips in my kitchens for the last few years. Time to correct that!
Yay!! Another video
Hey chef, I found a mistake in te metric amount for the cream. You've written 1189ml of cream, which is a lot hahaha, you can correct that so that someone doesn't use a liter of cream
Great recipe btw
Thank you. It has been fixed.
You just reminded of my grandmother and her churros she was half Spanish ❤
Europe truly has some of the most delicious sweet treats ever!
Marissa's bakery in Minneapolis is great. Lots of authentic baked stuff and their churros are just like yours.
Here in Argentina our churros are very similar or the same as the Spanish ones. There's an old cafe that makes the best churros in my city for over 80 years now.
What city is it & what’s the name of that Café??❤️ I would love to visit Argentina
Si was taught to put a pinch of salt into the chocolate. Makes it taste more like chocolate. Also rum.
Brazilian style churros are a very fond memory of mine. Theyre a bit thicker so that we can put a syringe and just absolutely fill them with doce de leite or nutella or any other goodness. Then we drizzle some of the filling on top and put some crumbs, chocolate flakes or anything that floats your boat on top.
Down here we LOVE extra sweet things.
Those churros you made look amazing and they sure taste great, but so different than the ones we enjoy here. The recipe of churros in Spain may vary from one place to another. I have tasted churros in Madrid,usually made out of potatoes or flour. They are quite good,but I prefer the ones made where I live,in the southern province of Spain. Here they are made a little heavy on the salt,so they are more in the savory side than in the sweet side. Great with hot chocolate but better with a dark coffee. You can coat them in sugar but I love me salty ones. It takes artistry giving them the right amount of salt. I really love them.
In Argentina, there's usually a good churro place near every park
I've been dreaming of churros since yesterday, what a coincidence!
Same here!
Googles in your dreams
I grew up with Mexican churros but had Spanish ones for the first time a few years ago. Different but good, especially with coffee.
It's been way too long since I had churros.. These look delicious! I love watching your videos because it always feels like this is something I can actually make myself, when it's those things I've somehow thought were super tricky. Very encouraging. Many thanks to you (and the family) for making these videos. :)
Glad you like them!
best churros I had so far in the us was in California a couple of summers ago, Don Abel Churros in east la, the best!
Omg I didn't know you had your own youtube channel! I've seen you on the 3 Level Chef videos from Epicurious. So glad I found your channel
Love this!!! Except I'd rather have you make them for me. Great work, and love to you and the family, Frank.
Hey Cathy. Hope all is well.
The small glass containers for milk and cream are so cute! :D
Hey Frank, if you ever come to Mexico City, make sure to visit churros El Moro. Probably the most traditional spot for churros in MX. But don't forget to try one from Coyoacán's food stands on the streets.
Thank you Chef Frank, such a great teacher. Will definitely try these churros with your instructions!!
Wow, never knew it was this easy to make churros! Thank you
For a while we were struggling and never had eggs, but I'd make churros and probably the only reason my husband married me 😅
I make mine just like yours. I love pate au choux. Been making treats with it since I was 9 years old
This looks delicious!
It looks so good! Hope to make and try it soon. Thanks!
Thanks Frank, I am definitely making these 😋
Definitely gonna try this recipe
Wow, I always enjoy your videos, thanks
love the new editing style and video format (:
I had the most amazing churros with chocolate in spain, but I prefer the sugar cinnamon combo, so I asked for cinnamon and the waiter was horrifed because apparently they don’t do that in spain 😂
Yes the real don’t do sugar either.
looks good chef !!
There actually was a churros stand a minute away from my work at certain days of the week. Never bought any. Luckily now I know how to make my own :P
Thank you thank you thank you! I love churros!
thank you chef frank for the idea i will make these the salty way for the aperitifs
Yey recommended to me
I question I've always had, not just about sweet frying, what's the best way to get the most out of a frying oil? I don't want to throw my oil away after one use, but also don't know how to clean the oil and also how long to use the oil. Maybe another kitchen 101, please?
You and camera woman have such a cute connection!
Fantastic
It seems I never get a good churro. Usually they're hard enough to wield as a weapon. I'll have to try these. Thanks Chef Frank!
and if you have a bowl of whipped cream to dip into after the chocolate, it's even better.
Chef Frank does it again
Awesome, I will be trying these for sure :) I do have a question though. Currently I have an induction oven, and it can be a little hard to gauge the ratios people tend to use when cooking on gas (like set your flame/heat to medium-low). Any advice for how this could be translated to working with an induction oven?
PENNY THROWS POTTERY AND MAKES BOOZY CAKE?!?!?!
She is very talented
Chef Frank thank you thank you thank you! Thank you for making choux pastry dough doable. I've come across recipes that are so fussy. Frustrating! This I can do.
You need to do yourself a favor and make churro ice cream sandwiches. It's peak churro. Churro disc, smother the top in that chocolate, slice up a disc of your favorite pint container of ice cream, add another churro disc w/ a slathering of chocolate.
How do you dispose of the used oil? I’m interested in trying it, but I’m wondering about the oil afterwards.
The best churros I had it was my sister's because it was perfect to my taste... kinda miss her u.u
This looks so yummy! Can this also be baked rather than fried?
You can bake them but they will puff up like an eclair
Uh oh... Now that I know how easy these are to make I'm gonna gain like 30 pounds!!!
What do you do with the oil afterward? It seems like a ton to waste, but can reuse it?
I cool it down and reuse it. Once or twice. Then I will dispose of it.
@@ProtoCookswithChefFrank Thanks!
I’ve never had churros before. I want to try making them but pate a choux seems a bit daunting to a novice cook... 😅
Hey so my family isn't a big fan of dark chocolate so could I use 4 oz of milk chocolate and then use 2 oz of dark chocolate instead
Sure.
Note: the chocolate is double the amount you use so you might want to cut the recipe for the chocolate in half
I love churros but I worry about my weight.... but I guess if I'm eating churros I should really stop thinking about anything
dang i wish u were my dad so you could teach me all this stuff :) :)
How reusable is the oil after frying?
Yes. I use it twice then I throw it away.
"It shouldn't be too liquidy..."
What's the advantage of making that thickened hot chocolate over just making a quick ganache?
I think ganache would be way too rich and heavy. The chocolate for this is lighter.
@@ProtoCookswithChefFrank Is it? Fair enough. It looked really syrupy.
Once i was making some churros and one of them explode xd. I'm fine just a few burns un my arm but nothing Bad xd
I love churros but I don't know how I would do them if i didn't have a deep fat fryer
just a pan and oil? Definitely need a thermometer though.
Everybody always says to add eggs one at a time, but nobody ever says why. So I'll ask: what happens when you add the eggs all at once?
I'd assume it is so you have time with a bit of effort to fully incorporate each yolk into the batter before moving on. If you just dump the eggs in at the same time it is harder to control the yolks becoming fully submerged with the batter, it's not a race.
It’s a lot harder to mix with more than one egg
Churros suck in Karachi, Sindh. They used to be amazing in French Quarters, Hyderabad, Sindh, but what happened was Hyderabad immediately had a political unrest, that led the high society people to flee off the city, and the one's who remain are umm well let's not talk about that. There's this one place in massive City of Karachi, they used to serve a nice quality of churros but with time it deteriorated, the quality, the freshness and taste it all deteriorated, and the Karachiites decided to make their churros at home, and that's the end of my love story with the churros 😢😭
I hope your camera lady doesn't mind you double dipping...
It's scientifically proven that tearshaped churros taste better. Does not have to do nothing at all with the fact that I'm a Spaniard 🙄
Hafte Sorvalh wants to know your location.
Is this a reupload? I'm getting dejavu. Or maybe it's because I'm high as shit lmao
It'd be cool if you had a timer running from start to finish so we could see the total completion time
I don't have tips to make churros 😂 so i used a fork to give it a little of shape, roll it into minis, freeze it few minutes before frying
