EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Traditional Spanish and Mexican churros are sweet dough spirals that are deep-fried and coated with a cinnamon-sugar mixture.

For a chocolate-covered delight, dip one end of each cooled churro into melted chocolate candy coating (almond bark), and place on waxed paper until set.

I read some reviews.I would be willing to be those who had problems have little experience frying.Either the oil got too hot or it sounds like someone covered it with a lid.Both of which are no brainers and not the recipes fault.One said not to have kids help with this.I guess I am in the minority as I never let kids help where hot oil and liquids are concerned.But thats me. If you follow the directions or look for oil safety tips you should have no problems.
