The secrets for crispy and non-greasy churros 🚀
✔ Oil at the right temperature: too cold, the churros absorb the oil; too hot, they burn without cooking inside.
✔ Do not overload the fryer: cook them in small batches.
✔ Use a star tip for an airy and crispy texture.
Irresistible variants 🍩
🔸 Oven-baked churros (less greasy): bake for 20 min at 200°C.
🔸 Stuffed churros: insert Nutella, jam, or dulce de leche inside.
🔸 Savory churros: try a cheese and paprika version for an original appetizer.

Today, they can be found everywhere: in Latin America, in France at fairs, and even in the United States where they have become a street food icon! 🌎✨
