Tips for Perfect Churros

1. Do not overmix the dough—this keeps them light and airy.

2. Maintain oil temperature at medium heat.

Too hot = raw inside

Too cold = soggy or misshaped

3. Test oil with a small dough piece; it should rise slowly and brown evenly.

4. Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature stable.
