Churros Mix 5kg
Churros Mix 5 kg by Gofrex is a professional food product designed for easy preparation of Spanish pastries in both home and commercial settings. It contains carefully selected ingredients that guarantee a crispy outer layer and a fluffy interior. Wheat flour, modified starch, and egg powder create a stable choux pastry structure. Emulsifiers E472a and E472b ensure even fat distribution during frying, contributing to the perfect texture. Diphosphates and sodium carbonates act as leavening agents, giving the dough its characteristic lightness.
The product eliminates the need to purchase individual ingredients and the complicated process of preparing traditional choux pastry. Simply add 1 liter of water per kilogram of mix and stir for 5 minutes with a flat beater. Guar gum stabilizes the consistency, while milk proteins and skimmed milk powder enhance nutritional value. The prepared dough is suitable for frying at 170-180°C for about 2.5-3 minutes per portion. The 5-kilogram package is sufficient to prepare a large quantity of churros, making it an ideal solution for larger households, food service points, and special events.

Ingredients and Their Functions in the Product
Wheat flour forms the structural base of the dough, providing appropriate elasticity and cohesion. High-quality flour type 450–550 is characterized by an optimal gluten content, which creates a protein network when mixed with water. Powdered eggs replace fresh eggs while retaining their binding and nutritional properties. The powder form extends product shelf life and facilitates storage.
Modified starch improves dough texture and increases its stability during frying. Chemical modification of starch allows better water solubility and resistance to high temperatures. Palm oil supplies fats necessary for achieving a crispy surface. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for deep frying.
Preparation Process and Culinary Techniques
Proper preparation of churros from the ready mix requires following several key principles. The water temperature should be about 20–25°C, ensuring optimal dissolution of ingredients. Water that is too hot may prematurely activate leavening agents, while cold water hinders mass homogenization. Mixing should be done with a flat beater for 5 minutes to achieve a uniform consistency without lumps.
Frying should take place in oil heated to 170-180°C. Lower temperatures cause the dough to absorb fat, while higher temperatures can burn the surface while leaving the interior raw. Churros should be fried in batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature. Finished pastries should have a golden-brown color and be crisp when pressed.
Draining on paper towels removes excess fat.
Serving Variations and Culinary Additions
Traditional serving of churros includes sprinkling powdered sugar with cinnamon immediately after removing them from the oil. Hot pastries better absorb spices, and cinnamon highlights the Spanish character of the dish. Chocolate sauce is a classic complement that can be prepared from dark chocolate, milk, and sugar. The thick sauce consistency pairs perfectly with the crispy texture of churros.
Modern variations include caramel glazes, fruit purees, or mascarpone-based creams. A sugar glaze with added lemon juice adds a fresh accent. Churros can also be filled with creams by injecting them inside using a pastry syringe. Serving with vanilla ice cream creates a contrast of temperatures and flavors. Decorative sprinkles, nuts, or coconut flakes enhance the visual appeal of the dessert.
