Notes
CAUTION: Take extreme care when deep frying. Use a deep fat fryer if you have one. If cooking in a pan, never fill more than one-third full with oil and never leave unattended, even for just a moment. Take care to gently lower the batter and not drop from a height into the the hot oil Recipe Tips If your dough has large air bubbles, is too cold, too wet or if your oil is too hot, or if you drop a churro from too high into hot oil you might get splashes, popping oil, or churros that burst. Keep children away while they cook and protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and keeping your face away from the pan.
