Gluten-Free Mochi Churros (with rice paper)

Ingredients

• 1 egg (can be omitted if necessary)
• 0.25 cup water (milk also works, but water makes them crispier)
• vanilla extract (a splash)
• 4 rice paper sheets (2 per waffle)
• cinnamon sugar (any sugar mixed with cinnamon for coating)
• avocado oil (for greasing the waffle maker)

Steps

1. 1

   Whisk the egg, water, and vanilla in a bowl until the mixture is smooth.

2. 2

   Soak a sheet of rice paper in the liquid mixture and then fold it into quarters.

3. 3

   Soak a second sheet of rice paper, wrap it around the first folded sheet, and fold again.

4. 4

   Cut the folded rice paper into strips.

5. 5

   Lightly grease the waffle maker with a little avocado oil.

6. 6

   Place as many pieces as will fit in the waffle maker and cook for approximately 4 minutes until golden and crispy (flip and cook longer if necessary).

7. 7

   Roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar while they are still hot. You can spray a little more oil if you want the sugar to adhere completely.

Notes

Pro tip: freeze the leftovers and reheat them in the air fryer later for instant churros.
