Churros & Estadi Olimpic

Posted On June 13, 2010

Churros is a Spanish light sweet Savoury dish available in Spanish cafes. It is usually served during breakfast or dinner. There can be quite a few variations  made in this dish, although the shape of the Churros maintained like ridges.  The variations can be  from  selection of flour( either All-purpose flour or Wheat flour) to which oil is used to fry. Finally, the savory can be sprinkled with sugar or served with hot chocolate sauce.

Churros are also available in other countries like Cuba, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Mexico, Argentina with slight variations as it filled with caramel, chocolate, and vanilla. (Wikipedia)

I used All-purpose flour, Canola oil, and Sugar for sprinkling. Tastes like a doughnut. Soft and slight crispy should be served warm.

Here is the Recipe

Ingredients:

1. All-purpose flour – 1 cup
2. Boiling hot water – 1,  3/4 cup
3. Salt – 1/4 tsp
4. Baking powder – 1/2 tsp (optional)
5. Canola Oil – 200 ml
6. Sugar – 5 Tbs

Method:

1. Mix the flour, salt, and boiling water in a bowl with the help of a spatula to make a dough which is sticky.

2. In a small pan heat the oil. Fill the dough in a pastry bag and using star-shaped nostrils pipe the dough slowly into the oil.

3. Fry for approx 5 min by turning to the other side or until it becomes golden brown color.

4. Once it is done, sprinkle sugar on top of the Churros as it settles on the ridges.

Estadi Olimpic — Olympic Stadium.

In the last few posts, I have been covering some of the Barcelona attractions. Today’s post is about Barcelona Olympic stadium. For me, the moment I hear or talk about Barcelona, the first thing that strikes my mind is this Olympic stadium and the year 1992. Â This was during my school days, we used to sit together and watch the games with my family.
