Churro is a popular street food in Spanish/ Mexican that is made from a flour dough and by deep frying it. The dough itself is using a choux pastry dough and only takes you less than 15 mins to make it. Churros are usually coated with cinnamon sugar and served along with a chocolate dip. Pastry can be premade in advance and fry as when you feel like having it!

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
