We Love Churros!
This churro recipe is a fried Mexican pastry dough dipped in cinnamon and sugar. Churro dough is similar to choux pastry (used in Eclairs or Cream Puffs), but it is typically thicker and more hearty. The fried dough is then covered with a sweet cinnamon sugar coating. Why we love them:
Simple. This recipe for churros starts with a simple pastry dough. Delicious. The treat was beyond delicious and will become a new staple for go-to desserts in our home. A Disney favorite. They have become one of our favorite snacks to pick up while at Disneyland.
