🇲🇽 Mexico recipe
Churros
Mexican churros are a beloved treat found at churrerias, street stands, and ferias across the country. Unlike their Spanish cousins, Mexican churros are made from a simple choux-style dough piped through a large star-tipped nozzle directly into hot oil, where they puff and crisp into ridged, golden sticks. Rolled immediately in cinnamon sugar while still glistening with oil, they are served piping hot alongside a cup of thick, rich Mexican chocolate for dipping. The exterior is shatteringly crispy while the interior remains soft, airy, and slightly eggy.
