Mexican fritters, known as churros, are a popular treat at fairs. In my border hometown, there is always a long line at the churro stand. People often have to wait for hours to try these delicious churros. I’ve come across a few recipes, but so far, this one is the best.

Spoon dough into a pastry bag that is robust and has a medium star tip on it. Gently insert several 5- to 6-inch dough strips into the heated oil; proceed in small batches to avoid packing the fryer. Cook until brown; then, move the churros to paper towels to drain using a slotted spoon or spider. |
