Mercadona recovers one of its successes for breakfast: this is how its ‘gluten free’ churros are

Mercadona continues to expand its product catalog with one of the most traditional breakfasts in Spain, churros. Thus, the Valencian company brings home a gluten-free product that can be made in a matter of minutes and easily.

The company has incorporated into a package of eight deep-frozen gluten-free and lactose-free churros of the Hacendado brand. The 150-gram package is priced at 2.60 euros and is now available in physical stores and the company’s online catalogue.

Perfect to have with a cup of hot chocolate (this is the presentation that Mercadona suggests on the package), these churros can be easily made at home. There are two ways to prepare them:

-If you have a fryer, the way to make them is to put them directly, without defrosting them and preferably with the oil at 180 degrees for about three minutes.

-They can also be made in the pan, without defrosting them. To do this, place the necessary oil to cover the churros, wait for it to heat up and once the oil is hot, add the churros and brown them to your liking, for approximately three minutes.

Mercadona warns its customers that, once thawed, the churros cannot be frozen again. In addition, it is convenient to make them in batches “so as not to alter the temperature of the frying oil”.

Who is behind the Mercadona churros

Although these churros are marketed under the ‘Hacendado’ brand, their manufacture corresponds to the company Horno Sant Honoret, which as a “completely certified gluten-free” workshop.

The company, based in Madrid, is one of the many others that has established itself as a Mercadona supplier, and beyond its churros it offers gluten-free products such as different types of bread, bases for pizzas, waffles, cookies and other custom-made products. the client’s.

This is the case of these gluten-free churros, which have returned to Mercadona after several months. As with other products, the firm removes them from the catalog to later re-introduce them. That is why now lovers of this traditional breakfast are (again) in luck.
