Churros are delicious but they are greasy and get your fingesr dirty…. This is why I imagined a “girly” version of them, still as greasy, I have to say, but in a mini version, and pink! With Disney’s Frozen music in the background, this is a future star of any girls’ birthday afternoon, for sure! …
