Honestly, if you love a quick easy dessert, if you want to surprise your guest, if you want to have something crunchy but also sweet, this is the perfect recipe for you. Chborost is very very popular dessert and i wanted to try and make it for you guys because it's been requested as well and i'm gonna experiment with other flavors as well but this is the basic one i hope you try it i hope you enjoy it and yeah let's get started we're gonna start with our sugar syrup in a large pot add water together with sugar and you also want to add a little bit of lemon juice so i just like to squeeze it right there inside make sure you don't have any seeds to make the sugar syrup we just want to stir the sugar and water together onto low heat and we're going to cook this mixture for five to seven minutes depending how quickly your sugar dissolves and you want to just take your spatula and mix the sugar with water constantly just to give it a little bump up to mix and melt quicker so this process doesn't take very long and you should you know be able to cook this very very quickly we really want the water to become more clear and that's when it's done you see the bubbles on top and at the bottom and it's ready to go as some of you know i have launched my online cooking school where you can learn how to make the most amazing cakes ever.

That means the oil is nice and hot and it's ready. And at this stage, you want to pipe your churros starting from the middle, then going around, creating this beautiful spiral shape. Now, your first ones might not be perfect and they don't have to be after, you know, several batches. Trust me, you'll become a pro at this. And they cook really, really fast. You want to gently turn them around. I'm using these tongs. I found that that was the best way to turn them around. and sometimes they can be too gentle if you don't have enough mixture. You need to fry them for about three to five minutes depending on how quickly your oil heats up and how good your pan is but you want to make sure they're nice and golden brown. They're very quick to burn so don't wait for too long. So on the other side they cook pretty pretty quickly. So once they're done they look just like this and at this stage you just want to place them onto your paper towel to drain off any excess fat or oil. So I like to cook all of them at the same time and just place them then on top of each other or onto new paper towels and they're nearly done. So once you've got your sugar syrup and it has cooled down you're going to take each khvorost and then dip that into your sugar syrup and this is what's going to give it a real real sort of sweetness and that kind of gooeyness and crunch to it you want to just drip that drain it from any excess sugar and then place it on the plate you will want to repeat this with the rest of your forest and it's just so delicious guys and you should eat them straight away i suggest you try them with desserts you can have it on its own there's just so many variations you can put a sandwich in between and just look how beautiful they are they crack amazingly and they are so so yummy and naughty but i really hope you try these and make these and i can't wait to see your creations
