Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable, canola or olive oil (not extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 tsp vinegar powder (sushi noko)
  • 1 lemon, zest 
  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • ¼ cup chives, finely sliced 
  • Caviar or fish roe, to serve
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Place the flour, baking powder, salt and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Use a wooden spoon to stir the dough as you add the boiling water. Mix until the dough comes together as a thick ball that is warm to touch.
  2. Transfer to a piping bag with a ⅓ inch star tip nozzle. Lightly dust a baking tray with flour. Pipe the churros dough onto the tray, about 2cm long.
  3. Bring the vegetable oil up to 170°C in a large pot or deep fryer. Gently place the dough into the oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, using tongs to turn occasionally.
  4. Transfer to a bowl and season with sushi vinegar powder and lemon zest. Serve with creme fraiche topped with chives, and caviar.
