Notes
Don't forget the dipping sauce!
When it comes to dipping your churro into a sauce many flavors come to
mind. The two I love is chocolate and Dulce de Leche (caramel). MEXICAN CHOCOLATE GANACHE and HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE DULCE DE LECHE

we LOVE churros, why have I never thought to use puff pastry – this is such a great idea
Will these churros freeze well? I need to make a bunch in advance. Also how many does this recipe yield?
Hi Natalie, I don’t think so. Recipe makes 18.

They will loose their crunchy texture if you make them a day in advance Vida. 🙂
