Churros Con Chocolate (Spanish) image

the original churros of Italy's just really flour and water. The first time I tried this when I was a kid, I fell in love with it. Just got to love the smell when cooking! Serving size varies depending on the appetite, width and length. This serving alone's enough for DH and me and is so filling!
