Churros are one of my favorite Spanish street food! The first time I tasted them was when I traveled to Madrid, it was so good that I came back from that trip with an extra 5 pounds around my waist…… But I figured if you eat them only once in a while there’s no real danger.

The thing about churros is it’s the exact same dough as cream puffs only you don’t bake it you fry it, and there’s no filling. This recipe is super easy and quick, you can make it for dessert or just if you feel like making a really sweet snack.

These homemade churros are crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside and they have a flavor no one can resist!
