Churro Cupcakes Recipe
Churro Cupcakes
National Churro Day is celebrated on June 6! Why not make a tasty treat for your family with these Churro Cupcakes! This recipe calls for store brought churros as a topper, but you can definitely make them yourself too!
For Canadians, churros are a delicious dessert or snack served with a caramel or chocolate sauce, or a mix of both. You will notice that the surface of a churro is ridged due to having been piped from a churrera, a syringe-like tool with a star shaped nozzle. Churros are fried until they become crunchy and taste so good if sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, just like the Canadian Fried Dough Pastry! In other parts of the world, such as Spain and Latin America, churros are eaten for breakfast at many cafés or sold by street vendors.
