What Are Churros?
Churros are a fried-dough pastry popular in Spain and Portugal and has been widely adopted by the world. Traditionally the churro dough is made with flour, baking powder, water, salt, and a little bit of sugar, much like a choux pastry dough.
The dough is extruded through a star-shaped nozzle and then deep-fried in oil, puffing up when fried. Once fried, churros are often rolled in a cinnamon and sugar mixture and served hot.
Typically served with a hot chocolate or coffee and sometimes with a dipping sauce on the side, like caramel, chocolate sauce or whipped cream. A churro is much like an elephant ear, just smaller like you get at the county fairs! YUM!!
So now, we’ve morphed churros into churro cookies and they are DELICIOUS!
