Heat water and butter in a medium sized pot till the mixture comes to a boil.
Take the pot of water off the flame and slowly stir in the pancake mix and sugar till you get a smooth batter.
Pour the vegetable oil into a thick bottomed pot, and place on medium high heat. Let the oil become hot enough before you start frying your churros (350-375 F or 175-190 C). An easy way to test if your oil is ready to fry is to drop a tiny bit of batter into it. If the batter turns crispy within seconds and rises to the top, your oil is ready for frying.
Pour the churro batter into the churrera or a piping bag and pipe out 5- to 6-inch-long sections into the hot oil. Let the churros fry till golden brown on the bottom, then turn them over in the pan to fry them evenly all over. Once they’re golden brown on both sides, take them out and let them rest on a paper towel lined dish to blot away the excess oil.
Mix the sugar and powdered cinnamon in a flat dish. Roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar mix till they’re well coated.
I partially free-handed this coat by using a generic dog coat pattern combined with the skull and crossbones pattern, then making adjustment as I went. The one and only sweater I ever knitted!
There are a ton of relatable quotes from this study. One that got me was:
“I listen to all feedback and take everything to heart, even if not directly aimed at me. I’m consumed with the feeling I’m not good enough. An example is when my husband moans about the messy pan cupboard it makes me feel like a failure. I know it’s not exactly directed at me but I take it to heart and it makes me feel inadequate and like I can’t get anything right. This is true for most things.”
Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?
Prime Minister Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani tweeted: “We regret the unacceptable treatment of the female passengers… What took place does not reflect Qatar’s laws or values.”
Yes, cause women are usually treated so well in Qatar. If it doesn’t reflect your laws, then how did it happen? Are the people who did it going to have any kind of accountability?
