Pretty much any time of the day is an excellent time to eat churros. A churro is a fried pastry topped with sugar, that should be eaten piping hot, directly out of the frier. Traditionally eaten dipped in a rich, thick hot chocolate and served with a cup of coffee.

You need:

• Oil, for frying

• 120 ml water

• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

• 1 teaspoon of salt

• 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar

• 120 ml of white flour

• 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder

• Sugar to taste, optional

How you make it:

1. Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed saucepan and place it on the stove over medium-high heat.

2. In a separate medium-sized saucepan, add the water, vegetable oil, salt, and sugar and bring the mixture to a boil.

3. Once the water mixture reaches a boil, slowly pour it into the flour and baking powder while stirring with a fork until the dough is smooth and without lumps.

4. Immediately spoon the dough into a pastry bag and carefully squeeze the dough into the hot oil.

5. Fry the churros until golden brown and remove them from the oil.

6. Place them on a paper towel to drain.

Serve with a sprinkle of white sugar and hot chocolate.
