What is Disneyland Churro?

These deep churro’s are a family favorite. It is made with dough and then rolled into a cinnamon-sugar mixture. You can make them in different sizes, rather they are long and thick or short and thin.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Adding in the Eggs – Mix in one egg at a time. Once the dough appears to be creamy, then you can add in the next egg.
  • Use a Piping Bag – To get the edges on the churro’s, use a piping bag.
