💡 Chef's tip
The dough for fried dough sticks doesn't contain yeast. If they turn out soft, the oil wasn't at 180°C.
📝 Our take
Churros are not complicated, but there are a few rules. The dough uses no yeast — if they come out soft, the oil was not hot enough. The chocolate here is thick enough to coat a spoon and hold its shape in the cup: closer to a hot ganache than a drink.
🍷 Wine & food pairing
Strong café con leche or a short espresso. The sweetness of the churros calls for a bitter coffee to balance it. A double espresso works well outside Spain.
