Question 1

Can Savoury Churros be made without a piping bag?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the ridged texture may be missing. You can shape it using a zip bag with a cut corner, though results may be less defined.

Question 2

What makes this spiced churros recipe different from sweet churros?

Accepted Answer

This version skips sugar and includes spices, herbs, and chilli cheese powder, creating a bold, snack-style flavour instead of a dessert profile.

Question 3

Why is chilling the dough important?

Accepted Answer

Chilling firms up the dough, making it easier to pipe and helping churros hold their shape better during frying without spreading too much.

Question 4

How do I keep churros crispy for longer?

Accepted Answer

Serve immediately after frying. If needed, keep them in a warm oven without covering, as trapped steam can soften the outer crust.

Question 5

Can I bake instead of deep frying?

Accepted Answer

Baking is possible, but the texture will differ. Deep frying creates the signature crisp exterior that defines churros.
