Churros are the epitome of Spanish desserts. Hot, crispy, sugary donuts honestly what's better than that! And these are easy to recreate at home. In Spain these are usually eaten at breakfast but they're just as good as an indulgent dessert. Now it's important to know that you can not eat just one, a minimum of 2 is more than okay in my book. But these are great to share with friends and family!

1 cup water
1 (4 oz.) stick unsalted butter

Pipe the churros over the hot oil and using a pair of kitchen scissors snip each churro into the oil and cook for about 2 minutes each side
