📌Ingredients

For the Matcha Churros

🍃3 g Everyday Matcha Powder

🍃1 cup all-purpose flour

🍃1 tsp baking powder

🍃1 cup water

🍃2 tbsp unsalted butter

🍃1 tbsp granulated sugar

🍃½ tsp vanilla extract

🍃A pinch of salt

🍃Oil for deep-frying

For the Matcha-Cinnamon Sugar

🍃½ cup granulated sugar

🍃½ Everyday matcha powder

🍃1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the White Chocolate Dipping Sauce

🍃⅓ cup white chocolate, chopped

🍃⅓ cup heavy cream

📌Instructions

🍃1. Prepare the Matcha Flour Mixture

Sift the flour, matcha powder, and baking powder into a ceramic bowl. Whisk until evenly combined and set aside. Sifting helps distribute the matcha and prevents lumps from forming in the dough.

🍃2. Heat the Wet Ingredients

Add water, butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.

🍃3. Make the Dough

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the matcha-flour mixture all at once. Stir vigorously with a sturdy spatula until the ingredients come together into a thick dough. Return to low heat and stir for another 1-2 minutes, until the dough forms a cohesive ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

🍃4. Pipe the Churros

Allow the dough to cool until warm rather than hot. Transfer it to a sturdy piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped nozzle. Pipe strips onto a parchment-lined tray and cut each strip to your preferred length using clean scissors.

🍃5. Fry Until Golden

Heat oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan to approximately 170°C. Carefully fry the churros in small batches, turning as needed, until golden and cooked through. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Avoid overcrowding the pan and keep your hands and face away from splashing oil.

🍃6. Prepare the Matcha-Cinnamon Coating

Combine the sugar, matcha powder, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the mixture until evenly coated.

🍃7. Make the White Chocolate Sauce and Serve

Warm the heavy cream until hot but not boiling. Add the chopped white chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Transfer the sauce to a dipping bowl and serve alongside the freshly prepared Matcha Churros.

📌Expert Tips

• Sift the matcha: This helps prevent clumps and gives the dough an even green colour.

• Let the dough cool slightly: This makes it easier and safer to handle before piping.

• Use a sturdy piping bag: Churro dough can be firm, so a strong bag and a large star nozzle are helpful.

• Maintain the oil temperature: Keep the oil around 170°C and fry in small batches for even cooking.

• Coat while warm: The sugar mixture sticks best immediately after frying.
