Churros

Churros

Churros are one of Spain's most beloved comfort foods, a simple fried dough pastry that has been a staple of Spanish mornings and late nights for centuries. The dough -- made from just flour, water, and salt -- is piped through a star-shaped nozzle and fried until golden and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and airy inside. The ritual of dunking churros into a cup of thick, almost pudding-like Spanish hot chocolate is an experience that transcends mere eating and enters the realm of cultural tradition.
