Have a sweet tooth? Check out this recipe we found for the most perfect churros. It is super easy to follow; my 12 year old whipped these up (first ever attempt at churros) and they came out perfect!
Easy for kids to follow along, but I do recommend parent help, as they need to be fried in hot oil.
What you’ll need:
- Piping bag (with star tip)
- Medium size pot
- Pan for frying
- Paper towel
- Shallow bowl or plate for sugar topping
Ingredients:

Add the dough to your piping bag.
Frying:
