Easy Churro Popovers

Some of the best things in life are sweet. And these Churro Popovers are one of them. These came to me after watching a Tasty video in which they made a very similar recipe but as a muffin. I love popovers so I naturally went in that direction with this inspiration.

What is a Churro and where did it originate?

Churros were introduced to South America during the Spanish Inquisition in the 1500s; from there, they became extremely popular. Today, they are considered a Spanish or Mexican pastry. To me, they taste a lot like a sugared donut. Typical Churro ingredients are pretty simple; they consist of water, butter, sugar, salt, flour, egg, and vanilla extract. They are normally formed into long lengths of dough that are pushed through a piping nozzle and then slowly deep fried or pan fried. Then sprinkled with sugar and served with a warm chocolate dipping sauce.

How can I store my Churro Popovers?

These Churro Popovers can be saved in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, you can heat oven to 175° degrees for about 15 minutes or until heated through. Remember, every oven is different so check the internal temperature to make sure it is warm enough for you.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Servings: 12 popovers

Ingredients

• 4 boxes of Pepperidge Farm each box makes 3 popovers
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 355° degrees.
• With a rolling pin, flatten the puff pastry as much as you can. You can work with one sheet at a time.
• Brush the melted butter onto the puff pastry sheets.
• Cut each puff pastry sheet into two pieces lengthwise.
• Roll each piece to create a tightrope type of form. Cut about 25% of the rope and attach to the other 25% of the rope to create the 3rd wheel that is rendered by one pastry puff box. It will be a smaller popover.
• Take each rope and roll into a wheel.
• Use some of the melted butter to brush each hole in a 12 hole muffin tin or popover pan.
• Place each wheel in the muffin tin.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the popover is golden and baked through.
• While they bake, place brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well.
• Once the popovers are done, quickly cover in the sugar, cinnamon mixture and place on your serving dish.
• And that's it! Enjoy!
