These are great. I doubled the recipe because I needed a lot of them. I work in a restaurant as a cook and I do all the baking. On Wednesdays we have Mexican day which are our specials for the day. Our chef wanted to have so that if you ordered something Mexican you got dessert compliments of the chef- So I set off in search of a churro recipe and this is the one I chose and they were fantastic. Thanks for a great one!

So good... We skipped the chocolate and only made half a batch but still had plenty left over. My picky husband was very impressed and happy! We coated these with a cinnamon sugar mixture. Thank you!!!!

These were a delicious late night snack! I couldn't find mexican chocolate or corn oil at our Target so I subbed vegetable oil and some unsweetened chocolate with milk chocolate (semi-sweet together). I didn't have a pastry bag so I used a plastic sandwich bag which made nice rods. I didn't eat them all so I will have to experiment with how to heat them up as I am sure the microwave will make them soggy. A delicious snack all over! Made for ZWT5, A Storybook Meal, Dining Daredevils. UPDATE: ok so to reheat them I baked them in the oven and also did a batch in the leftover vegetable oil. The ones in the oven ended up being crunchier while the ones that I fried again ended up being softer (but not soggy). I was very happy with the results as I know that normally fried foods can harden or dry up.

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!
