Serves 2-3 for breakfast.

You’ll need a large heavy-bottomed frying pan, a medium sauce pan, a mixing bowl, a fork, a large spoon and tongs. You’ll also need one special piece of equipment to prepare the churros – a large cookie press ("churrera") or a pastry bag.

If you are using a cookie press, it probably came with an assortment of discs and nozzles. Choose a disc with a large star-shaped opening, as shown in the photo.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 16-24 oz vegetable oil for frying (Canola or Sunflower)
  • Several Tbsp Granulated Sugar or Honey to Sprinkle
