Tips for making the best sweet churros

• Use a closed star piping tip for more defined churros edges. This results in a crispier exterior and a more traditional churro appearance.
• Allow the dough to rest before adding the egg – you don’t want the egg to scramble in the batter. Keep in mind that the dough will still be warm when you add the egg, so have the mixer ready to go as soon as you add the egg and start mixing.
• Warm them up before serving. There’s nothing like a warm churro straight from the oven. This is how you make best friends – anyone who takes a bite of your homemade churros will fall in love with you instantly!
