Churros

Ever since my second pregnancy I've been constantly craving donuts, even now after giving birth. I am just loving the doughy, fluffy, deep fried, sugar and cinnamon coated balls of fat. Is it the most unhealthy snack out there? Bar the deep fried mars bar....or the deep fried Krispy Kreme Burger.....yeah that was pretty sickening....even for me.

Anyway since I can't make a donut as good as Donut King, I tried to make churros instead, which turned out to be a real success. Detrimental to my waistline (especially when I've got the excess post pregnancy weight I should be losing) but I just can't help it. These beauties are irresistable. Recipe is here.

These aren't as good as the ones from Jas My Waffles which I've posted about here. But a pretty good substitute and would be even better if I had the right tip for my icing bag.

Churro dough
Frying the churros


Fresh out of the oil and into the sugar cinnamon mixture

A whole plateful!! Yum!

And a drizzle of chocolate sauce just for good measure.
Absolutely to die for!

  3. They look great Brenda! But I agree, the success of them is perhaps not great for the waistline but great for the tastebuds! :D
