Have a ‘Churro’ Good Time!!

Imagine being able to make CHURROS at home, having those sweet, cinnamon-y treats whenever you what. It would be like having a carnival in your own kitchen. Be the envy of the neighborhood. Consider this… your child comes home from school and says “Oh yeah, Mom (or Dad) I need to bring 2-3 dozen treats to school tomorrow” (cuz we all know that will happen). Then imagine the reaction when they discover you have made churros for their classmates. You would be “the cool Mom” (or Dad).

Just in case you’re not sure, a Churro is a a type of fried dough, either thin or knotted or even long and thick. Originated in Spain and Portugal. They can also find them in Latin America and the Philippines as well as in Southwestern United States and France. Delicious when you dip them in champurrado (a thick Mexican hot chocolate), or your own homemade hot chocolate. Dulce de leche (a confection from Latin America with a spreadable, sauce-like consistency). Café con leche (espresso and whole dairy scalded milk) and eaten at breakfast.

Churros are often sold at a carnival, fairs or by street vendors.

Made fresh, fried until crunchy and sold hot. Although they are available in cafes for breakfast they can be eaten throughout the day as a snack. The dough may vary but is usually a mixture of flour, water and salt and also may contain butter, milk or eggs.

Your “Fiesta in a Box” kit includes: Churro Maker with 9 churro nozzles (including the infamous hollow nozzle) and an e-book of All the Recipes of award-winning dough, and dozens of filling recipes from top chefs and foodies around the world. The Best-of-State award-winning dry churro mix to make 13 gourmet mini churros 2½” long. Because, of course the extra one is for the cook and usually eaten while making the others (lol). Signature Classic Cinnamon Sugar to dust your homemade churros. Your choice of: Dulce de Leche, Nutella or Sweet Cream. Also extras for party time: angel halo, devil’s horns, coloring pages and a Fiesta Planner with party ideas and recipes.  

Gluten-free and Vegan churro mix packets available soon!  

Traditionally you sprinkle churros with cinnamon and sugar, then dip in a chocolate fudge sauce, hazelnut spread or even caramel sauce. But I don’t think the churro police would come looking for you if you just dipped them in a hot cup of coffee or any other dip of your choosing.
