Notes
Make sure the oil is at the right temperature before frying the churros to ensure they cook evenly.
Pipe the churros directly into the oil for a more authentic shape and texture.
Use a slotted spoon to gently turn the churros while frying to ensure they are evenly cooked on all sides.
Don’t overcrowd the frying oil to prevent the churros from sticking together.
Serve the churros warm for the best taste and texture.
