Party-Size Candied Bacon Churros
- In a large pot, preheat oil to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium nonstick saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water, butter, sugar and salt to a boil.
- With a wooden spoon, stir in the flour until a dough forms. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for abot 2 minutes, or until batter is thick and sticky.
- Remove from heat and beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. (Note: If dough is too dry and remains in a tight ball, stir in an additional Tablespoon of water.)
- Fold in candied bacon.
- Scoop batter into a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. (Note: My star tip would not allow the dough to pass through because of the bacon bits. Instead, I removed the tip and allowed the dough to come through the coupler. It made perfect little uniform churros. If you do not have a pastry bag, you can use a ziploc freezer bag. Snip a 1/2″ hole in one corner after filling with the dough).
- Pipe batter directly into the oil, cutting into 2-inch segments with kitchen scissors to create short, skinny pieces. Fry in smal batches for 2 to three minutes (or until golden brown). Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- In a big shallow bowl or baking dish, combine sugar and cinnamon. Toss hot churros in cinnamon-sugar and serve with warmed dulce de leche or Nutella for dipping.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and fry, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel and drain all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the pan.
- Return friend bacon bits to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Sprinkle sugar over top and stir. Continue stirring until sugar is melted and bacon is well coated (3-5 minutes). Pour candied bacon onto the prepared sheet and spread in an even layer. Let cool and dry (about 30 minutes before using).
Tip: Candied bacon can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If it begins to get sticky, spread onto a nonstick skillet and dry out over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
