7 Cinco De Mayo

I had plans to do a giant post with links and pictures to all the different Mexican foods that I have on Elizabeth Ann's Recipe Box. . .
but then life got in the way. . . 
Our school does an annual t-shirt sale to benefit the Invisible Children in Africa and I have been in charge of it the past three years. . . 
and. . . 
we are right in the middle of it. . .
This is for another post, but the hearts of the kids I teach, never cease to amaze me. . . 

Back to Cinco de Mayo. . . 
Nate, Parker and I celebrated on Tuesday night with a Mexican Dinner since I have a soccer game tonight.
Guacamole, Tostados, Sopapilla Cheesecake, and Churros were on the menu. . .
I'll share the rest of the recipes later but today I wanted to leave you with a short, easy, amazing one. . . CHURROS! :-) I can't remember the first time I had a churro but I am sure it was in San Antonio with my dad's family at Sea World or something like that. . . oh, the cinnamon sugar deliciousness! :-) I literally haven't had one since elementary school, so I thought I needed to remedy that! :-) 
 Churros
Vegetable Oil
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3 1/4 cups Original Bixquick mix (I used Pioneer Brand) 
1 cup hot water
In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil (2 to 3 inches) over medium-high heat until thermometer inserted in oil reads 375°F.
In small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of the sugar and the cinnamon; set aside. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, hot water and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar with spatula until dough forms. 
Spoon dough into pastry bag fitted with 1/4-inch star tip. Pipe 5-inch strips of dough into hot oil. If necessary, cut dough with knife or scissors between each churro. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown. Carefully remove from oil; drain on paper towels. 
Immediately sprinkle churros generously with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Serve warm. (Nate likes his COVERED in honey!)
Pin It!
