There's a ton of cannabis churro recipes out there but the ones I've come across expect you to bake instead of fry the churro dough.  For me, that just won't work so I came up with a recipe that covered the fried churros in cannabis sugar!  Whip up a batch of our cannabis chocolate ganache for extra potency!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Serves 6

Skill Level: Easy 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cannabis sugar

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 1 cup whole milk

• 1/4 cup butter

• 2 teaspoons sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 4 large eggs

• 3 cups oil

• 1/3 cup cannabis chocolate ganache, optional

Directions:

1. Mix together cinnamon and cannabis sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

2. In a heavy medium saucepan add the milk, butter, sugar, and salt. 

3. Bring to a boil stirring until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts.

4.  Reduce the heat to medium-low.  

5. Add the flour stirring vigorously for about 1 minute until a shiny dough mass forms.

6. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. 

7. Once cooled use an electric mixer to beat in the eggs 1 at a time. 

8. Continue beating until a smooth, shiny, sticky paste forms. 

9. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 

10. Spoon batter into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe batter into hot oil in 3 1/2- to 4-inch-long ribbons (use a knife if necessary, to cut batter at end of star tip). 

11. Fry churros until golden brown and cooked through in the center for about 2 minutes per side. 

12. Transfer cooked churros to paper towels and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

13. Toss in cannabis cinnamon sugar to coat. 

14. Serve warm with cannabis chocolate ganache.
