Churros

Churros are a “sometimes” food. They’re high calorie, high fat, high sugar and low vitamins. And delicious, especially when it’s a bit cold.

You make a mixture something like pancake batter, but without egg and thicker, and use a giant syringe to squirt a big spiral of it into hot oil. When it’s fried, you cut it into strips perhaps 6″ long, and serve it with very thick hot chocolate.

Dip the churros in thick hot chocolate (almost as thick as blancmange) before you eat them.

Yum!

Or as they say in Spain, ¡Ñan!
