Star-Shaped Churro Bites
These quick and easy churro bites are made with puff pastry and baked until golden and flaky, then coated in cinnamon sugar for that classic churro flavor. Their festive star shape makes them perfect for 4th of July parties, BBQs, and summer get-togethers.
Equipment
- 1 star-shaped cookie cutter
- 1 basting brush
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed (but still cold)
- 1/4 cup butter melted (approximately)
- 1 cup granulated sugar approximately, adjust for your tastes
- 2-3 tsp cinnamon approximately, adjust for your tastes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the puff pastry and lightly roll it out to smooth creases. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many stars as you can. Place them on the baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
- You can carefully press together, re-roll out and re-cut your puff pastry to get more out of it. Just notes that the stars from the re-rolled dough won't be as puffy.
- Bake stars for 10-12 minutes of until they are puffed and golden brown
- Melt butter in one bowl. Mix cinnamon and sugar together in a separate bowl.
- Brush both sides of each star with melted butter. Then, dip the stars in the cinnamon sugar until they're fully coated.
