Hope you give them a try!!!  So delish!!

Here are some commonly asked questions

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

I have not tried it. But I generally don’t recommend margarine for baking except for specific recipes. Overall I don’t think it is a good swap for butter because it changes the texture and consistency for the final product.

Can I use a sugar substitute?

I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.

Can these donuts be frozen?

So yes and no. I don’t think the moisture created when freezing would be great for the cinnamon/sugar coating. So my suggestion would be that you can freeze the donuts after they are baked. But you should then reheat and add the coating when you are ready to serve.

Can this recipe be cut in half?

You can, and we do it often. This recipe makes enough for our family of 5 for a whole weekend. So if you only need a dozen or so – feel free to cut the recipe in half.

HOW DO YOU MAKE Baked Churro Donuts?

1. Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl & whisk to combine.
2. Pour the mixture into a paper bag- set aside.
3. Preheat donut maker or if using traditional donut tins- preheat oven to 350.
4. Add flour, sugar & baking powder to a large bowl. Mix & then create a well in the center.
5. Pour in the milk and mix until almost all combined. Then add the eggs, mixing well.
6. Add the melted and cooled butter- mix until well combined.
7. Fold in the cinnamon.
8. Spray the donut maker wells or donut pans with cooking spray.
9. Add a portion of batter to a pastry bag & pipe the batter into the donut maker wells or into the donut pans.
10. Cook in the maker for 6 minutes or 10-12 in the oven.
11. Remove & immediately put the hot donuts in the prepared paper sack. Crimp down tightly to hold in heat & shake around to coat the donuts with the sugar mix. You can leave them in the closed bag while refilling the donut maker for the next batch.
12. Remove the coated donuts & let them cool on a wire rack.

What is the best way to store leftover donuts?

I like to put them in an airtight container and refrigerate. You can keep them at room temperature providing your home isn’t too warm.
