Savoury churros with cheese

A creative twist for those who prefer it spicy: These hearty churros with cheese filling or topping are the perfect finger food snack for parties, buffets or brunches.

Crispy on the outside, spicy on the inside – melted cheddar or Gouda and a hint of butter create a whole new churros experience.

Ingredients:

• 250 ml water
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp butter
• 150 g flour
• 50 g grated cheddar or Gouda
cheese
• Oil for frying

Preparation:

1. Bring water to a boil with butter and salt.
2. Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the flour until a smooth dough is formed.
3. Fold the grated cheese into the warm batter.
4. Pour the dough into a piping bag with a large star nozzle and pipe into hot oil.
5. Fry until golden brown, then drain on kitchen paper.

Serve with freshly sliced chives or a spicy Soßeping sauce – e.g. sour cream or paprika aioli. A great savoury alternative to the sweet version!
