  1. Yeeessss! I’ve been trying different recipes and this is the one that comes out just right. So many other recipes are too egg-y. Or if you don’t add enough eggs, it’ll come apart in the frier. But this recipe is what’s going in my recipe book.👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

  2. The original Spanish recipe is made with just a mix of flour, water and salt (no butter, no vanilla extract, no sugar, no eggs), squeezed out of a 'churrera' (metallic pastry sleeve) directly into a large flat pan of vegetable oil (preferably olive oil), then dipped in sugar (no cinnamon) as soon as they come out of the pan. The hot chocolate should just be made with chocolate powder mixed with flour (to thicken it, the thickest the better) in boiling water (no sugar), stirred slowly with a wooden spoon until everything combines perfectly, but you may add some milk to tone it down a notch. The recipe here presented might be ok, but I would not add sugar to the making of the dough, that is an overkill as you are later going to dip it into sugar.

  3. My only complaint with video is that you should have made absolutely clear that it is impossible to make this without a second person to help you. I assume this is the case, because you showed us Julia, helpfully, snipping them for Christie. If a professional cook like Christie needs help so badly that they will not show her doing a certain task without help, I have to assume that this task is too difficult for most viewers to perform alone as well.

  4. These look tasty indeed. La Churreria El Moro in Mexico City is the oldest churro shop in Mexico…now a large chain. Their dough is just flour, water and salt. That's about as basic as it gets. Quite delicious covered in cinnamon sugar. 👍
