CHEF'S NOTES
In Spain, churros are traditional with hot chocolate, enjoyed in front of the churreria or while strolling through the square on a warm summer evening.
Though not exclusively a speciality of Madrid, churros probably were invented in the Spanish capital. There is no outdoor festival without a churro seller or a street without a churro stand or a strolling vendor with a basket on his arm.
These fried delights, a kind of thin ridged doughnut shaped like a buckle, are also called porras when they're thicker and straight, bunuelos if they're wreath or bowl shaped. There is also a bakery version that is much richer, called chocolate churros.
A churrera, a kind of large tin or brass syringe, is fitted with numerous holes and handles to hold on to in order to press out the batter. The batter is pressed out in buckle or wreath shapes into hot oil. Once they are fried, the churros are drained and sprinkled with sugar.
