Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Angel Food Cake Batter
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the sifted cake flour and half of the granulated sugar. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk until foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading it into an even layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
Cut and Fry
- Once cooled, cut the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces.
- In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Fry the cake pieces in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use tongs to turn them.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- While the churro bites are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
