Origin of Churros
The origins of churros are from Spain. However, there is controversy with that claim. In fact, some claim the Chinese pastry, youtiao inspired the Spanish version. Youtiao looks like 2 conjoined breadsticks. Plus, it isn’t coated with sugar or dipped in sweet sauces.
Some claim that churros originated with Spanish shepherds. In fact, the ingredients of flour, water, and salt are the basic ingredients used for today’s churros. In addition, today’s churro ingredients include butter and eggs The Shepherds named this dough concoction after the native Churra Sheep since the churros resembled their ridged horns.
What is historically clear is the Spanish tradition of dunking churros into a chocolate sauce. For instance, this tradition is a result of the Spanish inquisition in the 1500s. Spanish explorers returned from South America to Europe with cacao. Moreover, this tradition is alive and well even today. In fact, if you travel to Spain in the future stop by cafes with names like cafeteria or Granja you will find them on the menus. Since churros con chocolate is a very popular breakfast in Spain, you can be sure that by 7 or 8 am some cafes will have them on the menus.
