Few desserts feel as universally joyful as churros. Crispy, golden sticks of fried dough coated in sparkling sugar dust—simple, nostalgic, and completely irresistible. Whether you enjoy them dipped in chocolate, paired with coffee, or eaten straight from the warm paper sleeve, churros always deliver that perfect balance of crunch and tenderness.

Today, churros are enjoyed worldwide, but their roots run deep in Spanish and Latin American cuisine. What makes Golden Churros with Sugar Dust especially delightful is that they’re made from humble ingredients—flour, water, butter, and sugar—yet taste like something magical from a street market.

Making them at home is easier than you think. With the right dough texture, a star-shaped piping nozzle, and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, you can create a batch of churros that rival the ones from your favorite festival stand.

What Makes Churros “Golden”?

Perfect churros are:

• Crisp on the outside

• Soft and airy inside

• Fried to a deep golden color

• Coated immediately in cinnamon sugar

The signature ridged edges from a star piping tip help the churro fry evenly and create the crunch we all love.
