Cooking Instructions
- 1
Bring the water with the lemon zest to a boil. Add the butter and salt, and let the butter melt completely.
- 2
Add the flour, cinnamon if you like, and vanilla. Remove from heat and stir vigorously until it forms a puree-like consistency.
- 3
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing each time with a plastic or wooden spoon (it doesn't need to be cold), until all are added. Work the dough until it looks creamy.
- 4
Put the dough in the piping bag with a wide tip and squeeze it over the hot oil to form the churros, about 5 inches each. Do not overcrowd; they should be separate, about 4 or 5 churros at a time for a standard-sized pan.
- 5
Fry for 2 to 2.5 minutes on each side until golden. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 6
Sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon, to taste. They can be eaten warm or cold.

It needs some muscles!If you are shaping it with your hands, make it thin so that it cooks through easily. Recipe by Bucchi- cookpad.japan -

Afterward, I made a banana chocolate clafoutis.Tart crusts are made by creaming butter and adding sugar, eggs, and flour.The amount of sugar is a little high, so it will brown easily. Because of this, I recommend using powdered sugar.Finally, it will be even more flavorful if you use cultured butter. Recipe by gurecoco cookpad.japan -

SCONES with red berries & white chocolate chips!! 🍓🥛 SCONES with red berries & white chocolate chips!! 🍓🥛
Today I’m bringing you this SCONE recipe that I love!! I’ve been making it for years because honestly, they turn out so good…I discovered them when I got here. In Spain, you don’t usually see them in bakeries or pastry shops. And look, we’re ‘close’ to England, but still—nothing!They’re pastries typically enjoyed in England during tea time, originally from Scotland. But just like the English brought their customs when they came to the U.S., they also brought scones!They can be round, triangular, square… I chose to make them triangular. They come out crispy on the outside and slightly cakey on the inside. I’m obsessed… I love them!I made these with dried red berries and white chocolate chips, but you can make them with whatever you like best!Oh! And they’re super easy to make!! Give them a try and let me know!!#june2026 Chus Molinero -
