How to store
Churros should be consumed on the same day to maintain the crispy texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Can it be frozen?
It is not recommended to freeze the ready churros, as they may lose their crispy texture. If you wish to freeze, prepare the dough and store in airtight bags. Thaw at room temperature before baking.
What to serve with
Serve the churros with a hot tea or coffee to accompany the sweet flavor.
