Churros are wonderful Spanish (and Portuguese) fried doughnuts made from choux pastry that are popular all over the world now. You can call them not doughnuts, but just a dessert, but the essence does not change: this is a very tasty thing. In Spain, churros are one of the most popular breakfasts. They are most delicious with a cup of hot chocolate: dip the churros in it and eat.
