Churros
My family and I love to celebrate any holiday as it comes along, especially if there is good food involved! In May we celebrate Cinco De Mayo with a Mexican Feast. Every year we try something different on the menu but these Churros are always a staple. The kids love them and every year I regret not making a double batch.
If you have a piping bag you can make these into nice shapes, round or with ridged edges like the ones at Disneyland! I like to do things the old fashioned way so these ones are rolled out between the palms of your hand like play dough. They are relatively quick to make and super delicious!
