Exploring the Delicious History and Fun Facts About Churros

Happy Churro Day! 🎉 Today, we’re diving into the crispy, sugary world of churros, a treat that’s loved by many around the globe. Churros are believed to have originated from Spain or Portugal. Some say that Spanish shepherds invented them as a bread substitute that could be easily cooked over a fire. They may be named after the horns of Churra sheep. Another theory is that Portuguese sailors brought a similar fried dough pastry from China called “You Tiao.” They might have covered the pastry in sugar, giving us the delicious churro we know today.
