CHURRO BITES

Churros happen to be my thing. Ever since my first trip to Disneyland as a four-year-old I’ve had a love for the cinnamon sugar treat. Now that we live in Florida, Disney World is 3 1/2 hours away. Way too far to get a quick churro.

These churro bites are the next best thing. It all starts with angel food cake. I just buy one from my bakery and sometimes I only use half of it. I cut the other half of the angel food cake in cubes and freeze them for a rainy day.

Fry the angel food cake bites in a little oil until golden brown.

Roll them in cinnamon sugar right after they are fried.

WHAT KIND OF OIL TO USE

You can use any kind of oil you like. Here are a few that would work.

  • vegetable oil
  • canolia oil
  • coconut oil
  • peanut oil

FREEZING

I don’t recommend freezing the churro bites after they have been fried but you can freeze the angel food cake cubes before for later use.

  • 1 prepared angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

Flip and cook the other side. Remove with a metal strainer and place on paper towel lined plates. Toss in cinnamon sugar immediately (this helps to keep it stick). Continue with remaining angel food cake cubes.
