Churros

What would cause a 10 year old to suddenly want to make churros on a Sunday afternoon.  Could it be that reading Martha Stewart's Living for the one millionth time has finally caught up with her.  I have several copies in my car so I have reading material while inevitably waiting for the kids.  I am sure she has the Oct. 2008 issue memorized as it has all kinds of cool Halloween crafts.  And it also happens to have a recipe for churros.


I buy Oprah and MS Living at a local Goodwill and it thrills me to no end to get about 2 years worth of magazines for the for the cost of 2 new ones.


Back to the churros.  These were super easy (after borrowing eggs from our neighbors) and the kids pretty much made them all by themselves.  Getting more creative with the shapes with each batch.

This dough was more of a cream puff dough.  Actually it was exactly like a cream puff dough.  I am not sure if this is how all churros are made or if this is just how Martha does it.  I guess we will just have to make more in the future.

Emry was very careful around all that hot oil.  Look how serious she is about the browning of her churros.

Ethan loved his job of coating them with cinnamon sugar.  He too takes his job very seriously. 

The whole batch was gone as soon as they were finished.  They were happy kids.  I was probably the happiest though as there is nothing as fun as seeing your kids working (somewhat) happily together creating yummy things in the kitchen.
