Can you reheat churros?

Yes, you can reheat churros to help them regain some of their original crispness. The best way to reheat them is in the oven; preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and warm the churros for about 5 to 10 minutes. Avoid using a microwave as it tends to make them soggy. (side note: if you've already added the filling to the churros, I do not recommend reheating because of the cream filling. But they taste delicious cold!)

Can you bake churros?

Yes, you can bake churros instead of frying them, which is a healthier option and still delicious. To bake churros, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Pipe the churro dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and before baking, brush them lightly with melted butter or spray with cooking oil; this helps them get a golden color. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. For extra flavor, you can roll the warm churros in cinnamon sugar right after baking.

Peaches and Cream Filled Churros

First, let's make the filling. In a sauce pan, over medium, add roughly sliced peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, and pinch of salt. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes and reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes. Remove from heat when compote begins to thicken and become syrup-like. Allow to cool completely. Add peach compote to a food processor and puree.
In a stand mixer (or a bowl), add heavy cream and sugar and beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into peach puree and cool in the refrigerator until churros are finished.
Gently whisk together milk, water, butter, and sugar to a sauce pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and ad vanilla extract and fold in flour with a wooden spatula. Set aside and allow to cool until for about 15 minutes.
Begin heating oil to 340-360 degrees.
Once dough has cooled, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat in 2 eggs, one at a time. Dough will initially break apart but will come together and form a paste-like texture.
Add 1 cup of sugar and 3 tbsps cinnamon to a shallow bowl. The cinnamon sugar will be used to dust the churros when they are finished frying.
Add dough to a piping bag with a jumbo star tip. Pipe about 6 inches of the dough into the oil and cut with scissors or a knife. Fry for 3-3.5 minutes, until churros are a caramel color.
Add churros to a drying rack and cool for about 1 minute, then add churros to cinnamon sugar and dust.
Remove peaches and cream mixture from refrigerator and add to a piping bag with the Bismarck piping tip - (If you do not have this piping tip, you can use a wooden skewer to poke a hole in the churro and then fill the hole normally with a piping bag with a small hole cut on the tip) Insert tip into churro and squeeze mixture in. Repeat on the opposite end.
