Churros are Spanish doughnuts, squeezed out through a pastry bag and fried in long ribbons. In Spain they are served with piping hot chocolate. In the mall at La Bufadora, on the sidewalks of Ensenada and in line at the border in TIjuana, vendors wave them in front of your eyes.

Churros are fantastic but never had homemade so I am looking forward to trying my hand at these babies!
BTW- did you recognize it as being "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" from the quote or from his photo? Just curious...
