Description
Baked hybrid churro donuts with a crisp cinnamon-sugar crust and velvety dark chocolate ganache. Achieve a perfect balance of airy dough and caramelized flavor without frying, ideal for halal or non-alcoholic gatherings.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar (for dough)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
1 1/3 cups whole milk
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (divided)
3 large eggs
2 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon (preferably Ceylon)
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 1/2 tbsp cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, then stir in milk and melted butter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
Pipe small mounds (6-8 per sheet) onto the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake 10-12 minutes, until golden on edges.
While donut bites are warm, brush each with 1/2 cup melted (cool to 90°F but still fluid) butter.
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tbsp cinnamon, pressing gently.
Let rest 5 minutes for coating to harden.
For ganache: Warm 1/2 cup heavy cream, pour over chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Drizzle over cooled donut bites.
Notes
Use a medium-sized piping tip for consistent size. Brush butter while donuts are still warm to maximize sugar coating adhesion. For best texture, assemble and drizzle the same day. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
