About

Originally from Spain where they are usually served simply rolled in sugar, Argentinians have gone a step further and either serve churros filled with dulce de leche or dipped in chocolate. They are especially popular at seaside resorts.

Method

Sift the flour on to a small sheet of baking parchment. Bring the water and salt to the boil in a pan. Tip in the flour and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and let the dough cool a little. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large fluted nozzle.
