Did you know?
Churros likely originated in Spain and Portugal as a shepherd’s snack.
The name “churro” comes from the Spanish word for a type of curly horn-shaped sheep, because of the pastry’s ridged, twisted shape.
The dough is traditionally fried until crispy and coated with cinnamon sugar.
Churros are often enjoyed dipped in thick hot chocolate or dulce de leche.
Drawbacks ⚠️
High in sugar and saturated fats, which can affect heart health if eaten excessively.
