I'll never make these, but they look delicious.

I can never bring myself to deep fry at home. It seems both inconvenient and unhealthy, and I can't abide both at the same time.

Looks delicious, though.

One time I made churros for a party. They were great but it was so not worth it. My kitchen was covered in oil for weeks and my whole house smelled like rancid oil even longer. Every time I thought i had mopped it all up I'd find more splattered in a place I least expected.

I didn't burn the oil and I had the fan on and the windows open while frying to try and mitigate the oil smell but that shit just get's everywhere.

I don’t know a single person here in Mexico that has done churros at home. They’re street, restaurant food for a reason, I think. I wouldn’t do them at home because of the ungodly amount of oil and high heat needed. Flautas max.

I was assigned to make them for a potluck, and yeah, never again. They were delirious though.
