Tips to Make Better Churros!

First, the dough can be made ahead and placed in the fridge for up to 3 hours. Also, churros are best when fresh so batch fry if possible Also, for perfectly sized churros, pre-pipe the dough onto parchment or wax paper, after the dough has stiffened in the fridge or it wont come off the paper.

Lastly, test one churro in the grease to make sure that your frying times are accurate. If the oil is too hot, it will brown the outside, leaving a raw middle, so check this before committing to frying off the entire batch.
