Here's a very very VERY simple recipe for churros.

1 cup all-purpose flour (pastry is ok, but no to bread flour)
1 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
A/N Cooking oil (Using canola as it is healthier...)

Method:
1) Bring water to boil.
2) Once boiling take off from heat and add flour all at once. Stir until dough pulls away from sides of pan. Let cool.
3) Heat oil, enough to let the dough float.
4) Place in a piping bag with a star shaped nozzle (for the authentic Spanish churro) and pipe into the hot oil.
5) Cook until golden brown, turning once.

Serve with chocolate sauce or sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon after frying.
OR the way i eat it, with thai sauce!
Seriously this snack reminds me of donut, or even you cha kueh in a way....


Btw for C-Note
you CAN make your own pesto sauce. The most important ingredients are nuts, basil, garlic, oil.
Usually pine nuts are used, which is freaking OMGBBQSAUCE expensive but others such as walnuts can be used i think...
never tried before...
I dont have the PERFECT recipe but this one is decent enough.

50g pine nuts (toasted)
50g parmesan
100ml olive oil
2 garlic clove (can be roasted first)
handful of basil

Combine everything in a blender, blend, and season. TADA!! a nice green paste of flavour!
You can keep it in your chiller for about 2 weeks roughly.

FYI, if you are making it for pasta, DO NOT heat the pesto or it will split. Just boil the pasta and toss it
with the paste. Although adding cream to the pesto will solve the splitting problem.
