Everyone knows churros, those elongated fritters often found at fairs. That's one thing we can easily agree on: they're greasy and they keep you warm (which is not bad, as we're starting to freeze). But damn, they're so good!

The remastered version by Patate & Cornichon is made with choux pastry. We find it better, they are also light, and you can easily devour a whole wheelbarrow of them without fearing a liver crisis. In fact, we didn't hold back. You can also accompany all this with thick hot chocolate, as they do in Spain. Bursting fullness guaranteed!

Steps

In a saucepan, bring the soy milk, margarine, vanilla bean, orange zest, and brown sugar to a boil.
Add the flour off the heat and mix well. Return the saucepan to the heat to dry out the mixture (called panade).
When the dough becomes uniform and starts to stick together, transfer it to your mixer and run at a low speed with the paddle attachment (not the whisk) to cool the dough (or alternatively, work the dough with a spatula if you don't have a mixer).
In a bowl, mix 250 mL of water and the cornstarch. Add this mixture to the preparation and whisk to obtain a smooth batter.
Prepare a piping bag with a large fluted nozzle to fill with your mixture.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. When it's scorching hot, place your piping bag over the saucepan and squeeze the bag to release the churros.
When they are nicely golden, remove them and place them on a paper towel.
Coat with granulated sugar and treat yourself!
