Churros II is a traditional Mexican dessert that has gained immense popularity worldwide for its crispy and crunchy texture. Earlier, Churros were made into a straight shape, but over time, they’ve evolved into star-shaped strips. They are most commonly served as a dessert to dip into a chocolate sauce or caramel sauce and are enjoyed by people of all ages.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, heat up vegetable oil over medium heat.
2.	In a separate pot, heat water and margarine together until the margarine is melted.
3.	Add flour and salt to this pot and stir frequently until it forms a ball-like shape.
4.	Remove the pot from the heat and beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until well combined.
5.	Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a star tip.
6.	Pipe dough strips into hot oil, fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
7.	Combine cinnamon and sugar in a bowl and roll the fried churros in the mixture to coat evenly.

PROS

Churros II usually provide a sweet and crunchy taste and have a relatively simple recipe with fewer ingredients.

The dough results in a crunchy texture, and the cinnamon-sugar topping amplifies its sweetness making it a perfect evening dessert.

CONS

While indulging in a sweet and crunchy dessert sounds like a good option, churros are deep-fried, making them higher in calories and may lead to weight gain.

Plus, too much oil consumption can cause indigestion and digestive problems.
