A churro is a popular fried pastry that originated in Spain and is now enjoyed in many countries, especially in Latin America and the United States. It is made from a simple dough consisting of flour, water, and salt, which is piped through a star-shaped nozzle and deep-fried until golden brown. Churros are often coated in sugar and can be served with chocolate or caramel dipping sauces. Churros are commonly found at fairs, carnivals, and food trucks, making them a favorite street food. They can also be enjoyed as a dessert or snack at home. Variations of churros may include fillings like chocolate or dulce de leche, adding to their appeal.
