Mini Churro Bites

Welcome back from spring break! I hope you all had a great one! I spent most of my time cuddling with my dogs and binge watching shows on MTV, so I'd say it was pretty successful. I also spent some time cooking which brings me to this week's Pinterest project. Mini Churro Bites! These were super easy to make and even kind of fun! I tried getting my sister to help me make them, but she refused. She sure enjoyed eating the finished project though. Look below on how to make these awesome little churro bites!

Materials:

• 1 Sara Lee Angel Food Cake
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup cinnamon
• Vegetable oil
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• Medium sized bowl
• Wax paper
• Fork
• Sharp knife

Steps:

1. Let your angel food cake thaw on the counter for about ten minutes. When it's a little soft, cut them into bite sized pieces. Keep the pieces on a plate and set up some wax paper to place the churros on once they're done. (Note: I'm not a baking guru and I didn't know that angel food cake and pound cake is pretty much the same thing so don't be confused if you can't find a bread marked just angel food cake. Pound cake is the same and will work just fine. Shout out to my mom for explaining this to me.)
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in the medium sized bowl and set aside.
   
3. Pour vegetable oil into a large saucepan and put it on low medium heat. When the oil is bubbling, place two bite sized pieces into it and fry until golden brown. I just used a fork to flip them and take them out of the oil. You can do more at a time if you're talented, but I'm not and I realized that I could only do two at a time without letting the others in the oil burn. With that being said, it took awhile to fry all of them.
4. As soon as you take them out of the oil, toss them in the sugar and cinnamon mix and roll them around. Use the fork to take them out and place the finished ones on the wax paper.
5. When they're all finally finished, and I think it took me at least a good half hour to do them all, you can put some icing on it. Mix the powdered sugar and milk in a little bowl and stir. You may need to add an extra splash of milk to make the liquid thinner. Then take a spoon and drizzle it all over the churro bites.
   

Ta-da! You're all done! These were a hit with my family and they couldn't wait for me to make them again. This recipe was really easy and the most time consuming part is frying them. If you have someone to help you I'm sure it would go a lot faster. But it was fun to make and I had a good time doing it. I hope this recipe is helpful for anyone wanting to make something sweet!
