Whenever I have the deep-fat fryer out, I always consider it an excellent excuse to make churros; delicious crispy fried choux pastry, sparkling with cinnamon sugar, and smothered in a thick chocolate sauce. Need I say more?!
You could, of course, fry these in a large saucepan instead.
Churros are an hit with absolutely everyone – I’ve yet to come across a single person who didn’t love them. And if people knew how easy they were to rustle up home, literally everyone would be making them!
