What You’ll Need to Prepare the Mickey Mouse Churros
When preparing the Mickey Mouse Churros, you’re going to need a few important ingredients, including:
- Ground Cinnamon. You’ll combine the ground cinnamon with the sugar to create the perfect topping.
- Sugar. Make sure you have sugar to add to the flour as well as sugar to mix with the cinnamon before coating your churros.
- Flour. Use the flour as the base for your churro dough.
You’ll only need a handful of other ingredients, including milk, eggs, unsalted butter, and salt.
How To Make Churros
Which Sugar Is Best to Use?
It’s best to use white granulated sugar in the recipe. If you already have cinnamon sugar, you can use it on your churros for that crisp, sweet flavor. However, combining the sugar with the ground cinnamon works just as well.
What Should I Do If I Don’t Have a Piping Bag?
If you don’t have a piping bag to use when creating the mickey mouse shape, you can use a plastic freezer bag. You would need to add the batter to the plastic bag, remove the excess air, seal it shut, and then cut a small hole at the bottom before you begin piping it out. It’s best to use a piping bag, but this works in a pinch.
Can I Save the Mickey Mouse Churros for Later?
You can save any extra Mickey Mouse Churros for later by placing them on top of a paper towel inside a food storage container. Be sure to put the lid on the container and place it in the fridge to keep the churros fresh. When you would like to eat one, you can microwave it for a few seconds or add it to the air fryer to get it crisp and hot again.
What to Eat With the Mickey Mouse Churros
While these Mickey Mouse Churros are perfect to eat on their own, you can serve them with a few other tasty ingredients. The churros taste amazing when paired with a side of vanilla ice cream. You can dip a churro in the ice cream for added flavor. You might also want to add a bit of whipped cream and sliced strawberries on top of these flavorful churros.
