(This is Max): in Spanish class, the teacher decided that we should have an end-of-year celebration, where we would eat and get to experience the food of several Hispanic cultures. I decided that I wanted to make something for this celebration, so I decided on the delicious dessert Churros. Churros are present in many different Spanish cultures, and are also very tasty.  They are sort of like deep-fried long donuts dipped in cinnamon sugar (but better).  Since we don’t have a deep fryer we decided to make them a less traditional and more healthy way – we baked them.  I researched recipes and found one that seemed both simple and delicious and voila: we made them.  (This is Alex):  Max let me help me and the most fun part of making them was putting the dough in a pastry bag with a star shaped tip and piping the churros out.  We liked making them (and tasting them) so much that we made two batches: one for Max’s class party and one just for the family. The first time we made them pretty small but the second time (for the family) we made them 8 inch plus (and dipped them in hot chocolate!!!! YUM)

(second batch…all for us!!!!) PS Dad is so happy that he gets to try them because we wouldn’t let him have any of the ones for Max’s class.
