Notes
Tips:
- Don’t overmix your dough. If the dough gets too watery, you may need to add a bit more flour!
- The texture of your churros is greatly affected by the temperature of your oil and the cooking time in the oil. If they are too chewy, you need to cook them a bit longer and lower the oil temperature a bit so that they don’t burn on the outside.
