The carefully developed blend of ingredients guarantees the characteristic texture of churros — crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The product contains all necessary components in optimal proportions: wheat flour, egg powder, modified starch, palm oil, and specialized emulsifiers E472a and E472b. The ready mix eliminates the need to prepare each ingredient separately and minimizes the risk of errors during dough preparation.
The product is extremely simple and quick to use. Just combine 1 kg of the mix with 1 liter of water and mix for about 5 minutes at the highest speed.

The nutritional values of the product reflect a balanced macronutrient composition. A high carbohydrate content provides energy, while a moderate amount of fat affects texture and flavor. The protein content supports the dough structure, and fiber improves textural properties.
The frying temperature of 170-180°C has been optimally selected to ensure even cooking of the interior while achieving a crispy crust. Lower temperatures cause excessive oil absorption, while higher temperatures may lead to burning the outer layer with an undercooked center.
Preparation and Frying Techniques
Professional preparation of churros requires adherence to specific technical procedures. The process begins with thoroughly mixing the blend with water at the appropriate temperature. Mixing should last about 5 minutes at the highest speed using a flat beater, ensuring a uniform consistency without lumps.
Shaping churros is done by piping the dough directly into hot oil. Specialized equipment such as a churros press or a traditional pastry bag with a star-shaped tip can be used. The length of individual pieces should be about 10-15 cm, which ensures even frying. Churros should be fried in batches to prevent the oil temperature from dropping too drastically.
Controlling the oil temperature is a key element of the process. A candy thermometer allows precise maintenance of the 170-180°C range. After adding the dough, the temperature temporarily drops, so burner power should be adjusted accordingly. Frying time usually lasts 2-3 minutes on each side until churros reach a golden color. After removing from the oil, excess fat should be drained on paper towels.
Storage and Product Shelf Life
Proper storage of the mix significantly affects its quality and shelf life. The product should be stored in a dry and cool place, preferably at room temperature, away from moisture sources and direct sunlight. The packaging should be tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture and contaminants from entering.
Standard storage conditions ensure product shelf life for several months from the production date. It is crucial to avoid high-humidity areas such as near sinks, dishwashers, or steamers. Storage temperature should not exceed 25°C, as higher values may affect ingredient stability, especially emulsifiers and leavening agents.
Airtight containers or plastic bags further protect the mix from exposure to air and surrounding odors. When storing larger quantities, consider dividing into smaller portions to reduce how often the main package is opened. Regularly checking product condition allows early detection of any changes in consistency or odor.
