Welcome, I am Grandma Maggie. My family and friends call me “Granny“. I was visiting my son Jake and last Saturday he took me to the local Flea Market to look for some great finds. While walking around, we came across a Vendor selling these unique looking star shaped sticks. Thus, I asked my son what are they. He said they are called Churros, a kind of a Mexican Doughnut. Hell, I never heard of them being raised in the back hills in Tennessee. Not very many Mexicans in my part part of the woods when I grew up. My son bought me a bag of them and a some of carmel dipping sauce. I tasted them and all things considered, I I found them quite delicious.
My son explained that Churros are special South and Central American doughnut sticks. This sweet treat originated in Spain and Portugal and made it’s way to Mexico with former Spanish colonies and settlements. “Mexican doughnuts” is another name for them. A Mexican Churros is a tube-shaped sticks of dough. Therefore you pipe them from a star-tipped pastry bag, fried in oil, and rolled in a mixture cinnamon and sugar. Coat them with Sugar and Dip in a Thick Dipping Chocolate and you have the Spanish version.
Normally, you eat Churros for breakfast; but, they are a treat any time you eat them. They are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. A Freshly Made Churros is when they are at there best. The solution is to make them yourself so that you can have them Hot and Ready.
When I got home from my visit I was curious about trying to make Churros on my own. Being that I love searching on the Internet, I found a fantastic company that is all about Churros.
They have a Do-It-Yourself Churro Kit. Simply, all you need is some water for the Mix and Oil to cook them with. Consequently, they have everything that you need to make them in your own Home.
