\"Churros<\/a>

The thinner knotted churros found 'up north'<\/p><\/div>\n

Have you ever tried \u2018Churros\u2019? No idea what we\u2019re talking about? Stick around as we\u2019re about to tell everything you need to know about this delicious Spanish treat!<\/p>\n

A \u2018Churro\u2019 \u2013 sometimes referred to as a Spanish doughnut \u2013 is a popular fried dough snack which is normally eaten for breakfast accompanied by a bowl of thick hot chocolate or a good caf\u00e9 con leche. The ingredients for the typical churro couldn\u2019t be simpler: A mixture of flour, water and salt. Once the mixture is prepared it goes into a \u2018churrera\u2019 (special churro making machine) which then squeezes the doughy mixture into a large fryer where it\u2019ll remain until crispy and crunchy \u2013 this usually takes about \u00a030 seconds!<\/p>\n

Throughout Spain you\u2019ll come across two different types of churro, a thinner and often knotted variety (See images) typically found in the more northern parts of Spain and cities like Madrid and Barcelona \u00a0and a longer and thicker type (See photo above) which is what we get here in Andalucia; we call them churros but the rest of Spain calls them \u2018Porras\u2019. Another difference between the two types of churro is that the ones from ‘up north’ are often sprinkled with sugar whereas our Andalucian variaty should be eaten on their own (That’s a few less calories ;-)).<\/p>\n

\"Churros<\/a>

'Andalucian' style churros!<\/p><\/div>\n

You\u2019ll find that many bars and cafeterias serve churros throughout the day; however, they are more popular at breakfast time. Sometimes you\u2019ll also come across special \u2018Churrerias\u2019 set up on street corners or in local fairs which sell nothing but these tasty snacks.\u00a0Our local churros are usually fried in the shape of a large spiral and then cut into separate pieces \u2013 It\u2019s a fascinating process to watch!<\/p>\n

Many swear that digging in to a pile of churros is the best cure for a hangover; this would explain why many \u2018churrerias\u2019 and cafeterias do a roaring trade at weekends as party goers pour in for their early morning fix of churros with hot chocolate!<\/p>\n

Have we managed to whet your appetite? Fancy trying some \u2018churros\u2019? There\u2019s a great little place in Arroyo dela Mielcalled \u2018Churrer\u00eda Triana\u2019 where they serve the best churros in Benalm\u00e1dena (according to many locals) \u2013 Located just in from of the train station in Arroyo dela Miel, this typical churros caf\u00e9 will be the perfect place to try this famous Spanish breakfast treat!<\/p>\n
