Baked churros

[No-Fry, Easy] How to Make Churros Without Frying Using Pancake Mix

Let’s try making theme park–favorite churros as a snack activity at a senior care facility! This recipe doesn’t require deep-frying, which lowers the hurdle for preparation.

Put milk and oil in a pot and heat over medium.

Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat and add pancake mix, stirring to combine.

Be careful not to burn yourself.

Beat eggs in a bowl, then add them to the dough you just made in two additions.

At first the dough won’t come together easily, but if you use a spatula to cut through it finely and then repeatedly press the dough against the bowl and fold it over, it will come together more smoothly.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe onto parchment paper, and bake in the oven.

The toasty aroma makes this a mouthwatering treat!
