Churros and Chocolate

November 29th, 2011



A few weeks back, we made a quick trip down to Olvera Street and somehow left without picking up a couple of their dangerously addictive churros. Since I’d had some success with homemade doughnuts in the past, I decided to try my hand at these, with a cinnamon chocolate dipping sauce. I followed a very straightforward recipe (here) and they proved to be the ideal afternoon snack for last-minute guests.

    These look amazing! I’ve been searching for a simple recipe like this.

    If any of you all ever find yourself in Lima, Peru, the churros from a place called Manolo are simply devine!

    There is a place near my house where people line up around the block to have this perfect pairing! The best type of hot chocolate to serve with it is the kind made in Spain which is very thick and sticks to the churros!! YUMMY!

    Have you experimented at all w/ different flours? I was thinking of making a gluten-free version by substituting almond flour (or something) for the wheat flour.

    I would love to see more recipes that are either GF or include modifications you’ve tried in order to make them GF!

    I check your blog every morning- thanks for all the inspirattion :)

    P.S. I was so happy to read that you change into flats for the majority of your day — makes me feel much better about wearing flats every day myself! Heels are so gorgeous but just so impractical for a working girl.
