Making Churros at the Hot and Spicy Food Festival at Harbourfront


Neither especially hot nor especially spicy, the Spanish street treat known as the churro is nonethless fun and festive. The thick (sometimes potato-based) batter is extruded from a specialized device called a churrera (Andrea the Gastronaut has a picture of it in her post on the festival; it's not unlike a Play-Doh Fun Factory), then deep-fried (above).


The fried tubes are filled...


...and finally they're topped with chocolate or caramel and passed into the eager hands of waiting churro lovers!
