Churros are healthy when eaten in moderation.

But when eaten in excess the churros can be unhealthy and be fattening just like doughnuts are.

The difference between Mexican Churros and Spanish Churros are the Spanish churros are coated in sugar and served with a thick dipping chocolate while Mexican churros are coated in a cinnamon sugar mixture and served with chocolate, caramel, or whipped cream or eaten plain.

Churros taste like cinnamon doughnuts but they taste better.

The inside of churros are fluffy like a doughnut and they are at their prime freshly made, but they reheat exceptionally well too making them a great make ahead for parties!

Churros are the same as choux pastry and the only difference is the Churros are fried instead of baked.

The dough for churros itself is pretty bland, but the roll in cinnamon-sugar makes up for that.

Churros in Spain and other places are fried dough made of flour, salt and water and coated with sugar.

Churros are also especially popular in Spain where they are a part of the local breakfast and snack culture.

Churros can be somewhat salty in taste but churros are more sweet in taste because of the sugar they contain as well.

Churros are similar to doughnuts but are even better tasting.

Churros are crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.

Coated with sugar and cinnamon and dipped in your favorite sauce, they make for a great snack with its right level of sweetness and chewiness.

Spanish people eat churros with a cup of hot chocolate made with mild or a chocolate sauce or even just chocolate or white milk.

The chocolate served with churros is used both as a dip and a drink.

So when you finish dipping the churros in the chocolate you can drink the rest of the chocolate if you want too.

Churros are almost always eaten with tsokolate drinks (a pairing known as churros con tsokolate), which can also serve as a dip.

They are popular during the Christmas season.

Churros are like Doughnuts but Churros have a better flavor than Doughnuts.

Doughnuts are similar to churros.

Churros are soft but not too doughy inside.

A good churro should be light and pillowy inside and crunchy on the outside.

If the oil is too hot, the churros will immediately puff up too much, cook only on the outside, leaving the insides raw and doughy.

If it's not hot enough, they'll take forever to cook and harden as they cool.

Churros are a type of fried dough from Spanish and Portuguese cuisine.

And Churros are also found in Latin American cuisine and the cuisine of the Philippines and in other areas that have received immigration from Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries, especially in the Southwestern United States and France.

Mexico and Spain is where Churros originated from.

Churros are served hot although you can eat them without heating them up or eat them cold if you prefer.

Churros originate in Spain and Portugal, but made their way to Mexico and other former Spanish colonies and settlements as well.

Spanish churros are coated in sugar and served with a thick dipping chocolate.

Although the calories are not too bad in Churros, it lacks nutritious value.

Therefore it's recommended you should eat only one or two of them and only in moderation.

Spanish Churros are simply fried dough, very similar to the American version of a doughnut.

Churros taste like cinnamon doughnuts, but BETTER because you've got crispy ridges.

The inside of a churro is fluffy like a doughnut and they are at their prime freshly made, but they reheat exceptionally well too making them a great make ahead for parties!
