What are churros made of?

A churro is a cinnamon- and sugar-topped fried pastry dough stick with Spanish and Portuguese origins. Churros are similar to doughnuts, but they have ridges because they are piped out of a pastry bag. Because they are fried instead of baked, churros have a fluffy and tender interior with a satisfyingly crispy exterior. These are the six ingredients you'll need to make this homemade churro recipe: Water: This recipe for churros starts with a cup of water. Sugar: White sugar goes into the churro dough and into the cinnamon-sugar topping. Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients. Oil: You'll need vegetable oil for the dough and to fry the churros. Flour: All-purpose flour gives the churro dough structure. Cinnamon: The fried churros are rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture before serving.
