Churros

Churros are made by mixing flour, water, and salt to form a dough. The dough is then piped through a star-shaped nozzle into hot oil and fried until golden brown. The churros are then rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Churros are often served with a cup of hot chocolate for dipping.
