Haven't seen my star tip since last Christmas and now I know I have to search out another one. Made them last night when expecting friends for coffee. I used a plain round tip for piping into the hot oil, rolled them in cinnamon sugar and ate the first half while frying the second half, hahaha. I used one one cup of milk to one-and-a-half rounds of Ibarra and that was perfect for us. TFS!

I never made churros before..... I have been missing out on so much!! I couldnt find my piping bag so I just scooped them into little balls. I also scaled this down to use one egg since I did not want to make a whole lot.... wish I hadnt scaled it down now! Made for ZWT 3!

I love churros and this is a great recipe. I tried making these using corn oil and vegetable oil for the frying and it was much better with the corn oil. For some reason, they were crispier and didn't bun as easily when I used the corn oil. Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe for a sweet treat!

My son and I made this for his school report on Spain. We made a test batch the night before and found the flavor was perfect. However, I didn't have a star tip large enough, and I could not get the center to cook without burning the outside. I will definately try again, with the correct sized tip! Thanks for sharing.
