  • Place on serving plate and serve with favorite dipping sauce. We made caramel sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

We didn't have a large enough star tip so we were unable to use the piping bag to make our churros, so we simply used our hands and formed the dough into bite-sized shapes.  The shapes we made varied from sticks, to circles, to donut-shapes.
We didn't have a thermometer to tell us when the oil reached 350 degrees, so I waited until I saw one or two bubbles starting to form in the oil and slowly dropped our churros into the oil.  If you are using your hands, BE VERY CAREFUL, THE OIL IS VERY, VERY HOT.
