Churros 西班牙油条

You tiao I like, but Spanish you tiao, have you tried it before?

It is called Churros, a kind of choux pastry with rigged surface, being deep fried until crunchy and served with dipping sauce or simply rolled in sugar. Made this and family came out with different opinions, some thought too sweet, while others tempted to add some chocolate/ caramel sauce for additional kick!

So, was it really originate from you tiao? That is certainly one of the plausible theory. It was said that the Portuguese encountered you tiao during their visit to Dinasty of Ming when they sailed for Orient. After went back to Portugal, they tried to recreate and modify you tiao. Ends up, churros is what they got!

Caution: Churros could burst if there are air pockets trapped inside the dough and  if oil not hot enough. Beware hot oil could splash out when churros burst. Suggest to use a splatter screen when frying. I am using the Norpro one and I strongly recommend that.
