How To Make Sweet and Salty Churro Bites:
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and press the seams together to form a single sheet of dough. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into small bite-sized squares, approximately 1×1 inch.
- Step 3: Bake the Dough: Place the dough squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each piece. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and puffed.
- Step 4: Coat the Churro Bites: While the dough squares are baking, mix the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Once the bites are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Brush each bite with the melted butter, then toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Step 5: Garnish and Serve: Once the churro bites are cool, sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt for an extra touch of saltiness. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Cooking Notes
- Crescent Roll Dough: Make sure to press the seams together well to prevent the dough from separating while baking.
- Butter: Melted butter helps the cinnamon sugar stick to the churro bites, so be generous when brushing each piece.
- Cooling: Allow the churro bites to cool on a wire rack after coating to maintain their crispiness.
