All about Cakes & Cookies Baking

sall:

When I use only egg yolk to make cookies, they turn out to be crumbly. Still taste good but crumbles easily. What if I use only egg white? Anyone try before?

I dun think it is due to the egg yolk.
Maybe too much butter resulted unable to hold the mixture together hence breaks easily? Why not try reducing the liquid or the butter quality abit.

I was left with a fair bit of cinnamon sugar after making my cinnamon pull apart loaf so rather then let all the aromatic sugar languish on my counter top, I thought I'd try this.

Coat them in cinnamon sugar, dip them in warm melted chocolate, what the heck couple them with tau suan if you like. They are definitely easier to make then you tiao.

Here you go ladies. This is the recipe I used. I would make some changes to the recipe the next time I make this. This recipe gives a rather dense Churros with a slight floury taste. I prefer one that is a little more Choux like.


Churros

150g plain flour
150g self raising flour
100g caster sugar
50g butter
400ml water
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks

Cooking oil for deep frying
Extra caster sugar & 1/4tsp cinnamon powder for coating

Method

1. Sift both flours together and put aside.
2. Put water, sugar and butter in a large heavy based pan and bring to a gentle simmer stirring until the sugar dissolves.
3. Add flours and stir immediately and vigorously until it becomes a smooth and quite stiff paste and the dough leaves the sides of the pan.
4. Transfer the dough to a mixer, add in 2 egg yolk and 1 whole egg, and beat over medium speed until well combined.
5. Heat up cooking oil over medium flame.
6. Either use piping bag with nozzle to squeeze out the dough or just roll them into ropes and use fork to make the lines
7. Deep fry till golden brown, and toss with sugar.
