Hello

Does anyone know if there is a fresh churros kiosk in OR near villamartin?

They are plentiful in other parts of Spain but I cannot find any here. 

I do not want them from a supermarket. but would like the freshly made ones to takeaway..

Thanks

Jim's Churros

170ml water

85g unsalted butter

Pinch of salt

150g plain flour

¼ tsp baking powder

3 medium eggs, beaten

1 tsp orange flower water (optional - I use Mercadona's Agua Azahar)

Finely grated zest from a lemon (or from ½ an orange)

30g sugar

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Weigh the water into a saucepan and add a pinch of salt. Slice in the butter. Put the pan over heat to melt the butter and bring to the boil.

Sieve the flour and baking powder together. As soon as the water boils, remove it from the heat and quickly stir in the sifted flour and baking powder. Beat the mix with a wooden spoon until smooth and it comes away from the sides of the pan in a smooth mass.

Cool for a couple of minutes. Then gradually add the beaten eggs, beating well until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Add the orange flower water (if using) and grated zest with the last dollop of egg and mix until combined.

Cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave the batter to one side to rest for up to 30 minutes.

Mix the sugar and cinnamon.

Remove the basket from the deep fat fryer to give a bit more space in it. Heat fryer until it reaches 180 -190º. Test your oil by placing a small amount of dough in it. The dough should come up to the surface right away - if not, that means the oil is not hot enough and a soggy churro is on the way. If you haven't got a deep fat fryer, put about an inch of oil in a saucepan - you don't need any more as the churros float on the surface.

Fit a large piping bag with a large star-shaped nozzle. Before decanting the mix, fold down the top of the piping bag, put the batter in it, then undo the fold. That way, if you get any batter on the top of the bag, it will be inside.

Pipe 2 or 3 finger-length strips of batter directly into the pan, cutting off each strip with a pair of scissors. Do not cook more than this in one go or the oil will cool down and your churros won't rise properly, and will be soggy inside, rather than crisp, golden and light.

Turn the churros every half minute or so, so they cook evenly, until golden and crisp.

Remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon, drain quickly on kitchen paper and sprinkle liberally with the sugared cinnamon. I put the churros on a plate before sugaring them, so the excess sugar can be re-used.

Or you can simply buy them deep frozen from most Spanish supermarkets and deep fry them yourself!

Hi, if you go past Via Park III heading towards La Zenia there is a churros van on the road outside the supermarket. I think he opens in the mornings.  Hope it's what you are looking for.
