Step 01
For the Churros
- To prepare the Mexican churros first put the water, sugar and salt into a pan and bring to a boil, stirring.
- Remove from the heat, add the flour all at once and beat until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and lemon zest until smooth.
- Heat the oil in a deep fat fryer or deep heavy-based pan.
- Spoon the churros mixture into a piping bag fitted with a fluted nozzle.
- Pipe 7.5 cm lengths of dough directly into the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden, turning once.
- Do this in batches as it is important not to overcrowd the pan.

- Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked churros from the oil.
- Quickly drain on absorbent kitchen paper, then roll in the sugar.
