Ingredients
- 2 cups rice cakes (sliced or bite-sized)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the rice cakes: Slice the rice cakes into sticks or bite-sized pieces that resemble churro shapes for even frying.
- Heat the oil: In a deep pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) to ensure perfect frying temperature.
- Fry the rice cakes: Carefully add the rice cake pieces to the hot oil in small batches, frying them until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Drain excess oil: Remove the fried rice cakes using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. While the rice cakes are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve warm: Enjoy these crispy, sweet rice cake churros immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature to avoid greasy churros.
- For a variation, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- You can use leftover rice cakes to make this recipe, making it a great way to reduce food waste.
- Serve with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping if desired.
