Churro
Churro (/ˈtʃʊroʊ/, Spanish: [ˈtʃuro]) is a type of fried dough from Spanish cuisine. They are also popular in Latin America, France, Portugal, the United States, and Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands.
Etymology
The origin of the word "churro" is unclear. Some believe it comes from the Spanish churro, which means rough or uneven, possibly referring to the texture of the dough. Others suggest it may derive from churros, a type of sheep whose horns resemble the fried pastry.
Description
Churros are typically made from a dough consisting of flour, water, and salt. The dough is piped through a star-shaped nozzle and deep-fried until golden brown. They are often served dusted with sugar and can be accompanied by a cup of thick hot chocolate for dipping.
