Want to know where you can find the tastiest churros Dubai offers? At MyBayut, we’ve got you covered with a list of churros places in Dubai. Let’s begin the quest for good – no, GREAT – churros!
WHAT ARE CHURROS?
The origin of the churro is still unknown. According to some, the Spanish churro is a descendant of the Chinese youtiao pastry. According to folklore, Portuguese explorers brought youtiao to Iberia, evolving its distinctive star shape and sweetness.
As the authentic Spanish churros are thin, you must use a star-shaped funnel tip to get the right form. As a result, the ridges become crispier. The sprinkling of cinnamon sugar dust on top makes people swoon.
