  5. These look intriguing – don’t know what Churros are actually. But by the recipe I am assuming a dessert – type cookie batter. I have a son that likes to try new thinks, so having said that. This will be our menu item this weekend. TY

  13. These take me back to my days of youth, in California. At nearly every event we went to, churros were being sold by a cart vendor. I really want to make these, but I’m vegetarian and the “deep-fat frying” doesn’t sound vegetarian. Can you recommend a vegetarian option, such as a vegetable-based oil or something? Thanks!
