What it is
This is a convenient mix designed to help you create classic churros at home. It contains the dry ingredients needed to form the dough, which is then typically fried and coated in cinnamon sugar. The mix aims to simplify the process, making churro preparation more accessible for home cooks. It is a shelf-stable product that requires adding water and oil before cooking.

To prepare, you will typically combine the mix with water and oil in a bowl, stirring until a smooth dough forms. This dough is then usually placed into a piping bag with a star tip. The dough is piped directly into hot oil and fried until golden brown and crispy. Once fried, the churros are drained and then immediately rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar while still warm. This coating adheres best to the hot surface of the fried dough.
How it differs from similar foods
This mix offers a shortcut compared to making churros entirely from scratch, as it pre-portions the dry components. It simplifies the process by providing a consistent base, reducing the need to measure multiple dry ingredients like flour and leavening agents separately.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an easy way to make a popular fried dessert.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place. Once prepared, any leftover cooked churros should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed fresh, as they can lose their crispness over time.
