Next time you want to use a bag for a piping bag, don't seal the bag. It'll work better when the air has somewhere to go and then the bag won't burst on you. :)
I've been watching a marathon of your buzzfeed tests and I must pause to say- very impressed by the effort. Pretty sure no other youtuber would have tried again after that first mess. Props!
Maybe it's because you split the recipe in half, yet you added a whole egg. When there is a single whole egg in a recipe, I don't split it half, because you can't split an egg in half
+Josephina Wang Maybe if you watched the entire video through, you'd see that the recipe calls for two eggs which is why I only added one when I split it in half :)
For anyone who tries this, don't take the butter/water off the heat. You have to add the flour to the mixture and keep it there as you combine it. You're trying to cook the flour so the starch granules burst (you'll know it has when you see an opaque film forming at the bottom of the pan). Without this step the dough will be lumpy and not stay together. After that, take it off the heat, wait for it to cool, and then add your eggs. You'll have much more success this way.
I realized that whenever you are going to try out a recipe which includes oreos (black/original one) it always go bad and whenever you switch tobthe vanilla one or that yellow one, it always go well. Either way, you're so adorable!
A tip for the piping bag method: instead of taping it to the outside of the bag, try to cut a snip in the zip lock and put the piping tip IN the bag. just made sure the hole in the bag isn't big enough for the tip for come through.
I don't know if someone else has said it yet, but if you cut the tip of the bag then put the piping tip in from the inside, you shouldn't have any problems piping from then on : )
David i'm a huge fan but if you wanted to stuff them with the cream do what they did in the video: poke a hole threw and then pipe some in. And also you should have put the piping tip inside the bag and snip the tip.
What you're doing when you make churros is making a choux pastry. It's a pretty hard technique to master because there's a lot of ways you can mess it up (hence the fail on your first try). but you did it right on your second try! Good job!
I'd dip 'em in sour cream or creme fraiche; not weird, the tang and partial bitterness would probably kick the ass out of the churro's overpowering sweetness. Granted you'd likely have to go through a whole tub of the stuff to compensate for the sweetness, I think it'd be worth it for a cheat day.
not trying to be rude at all just for future recipes you can cut a hole in the ziploc bag big enough for the piping tip and put the tip in and put your batter or frosting and it should pop out as easily(: love ur vids!
I was going to comment and suggest that too. It works wayyy better if you push it in from the inside. That's how I do it and I've never had to buy a pastry bag!
Try the two ingredients doughnuts and the two ingredient ice cream from buzzfeed. I made them and my sisters LOVE the doughnuts. The icecream isn't as good but my mom likes it.
The of the reasons it might have failed is you added flour after you took it off of the burner silly! and did the recipe call of one whole egg before you cut it in half? or was it two?
