Mexican Churro Research Paper

Improved Essays
Churros have long been one of the most delectable delicacies in the country of Mexico. Stands in Mexico hold long lines of people waiting and itching to get even a savor of a churro. The churro is nice and crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside which creates the perfect blend. It is dipped in a cinnamon and sugary mix that coats the crispy outside. The finest churros are those that are eaten right out of the frier so that they hot and fresh. In some places it can be served with a chocolate sauce but it most places serve it without.
Churros can be a very tasty and great snack when made the right way. They can be served or made in different ways but my personal preference has always been the mexican churro. To make a mexican churro one begins by mixing ½ cup of

Then mix together 1 cup of water, 1 ½ tablespoons of sugar, ½ tablespoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. This mixture should be placed in a pan and whisked then brought to boil. Once the mixture begins to boil the pan should be removed from the heat and the flour should be mixed until it forms a ball. Once that process is completed a decent amount of vegetable oil should be heated in a large pot. It should be enough vegetable oil to cover the dough when placed in it. While most recipes call for placing the dough in a pastry bag and placing a star tip to pipe out the churros. I found out that if one is going to place the dough in a pastry bag it is easier to wait till it cools down because it was difficult and made holes in the bag. I prefered to roll the dough with my hands to about the length of about 5-6 inches. The total amount of churros that can be made varies depending on how long and thick one makes the churros. They should not be made too thick or they will not be cooked through to the middle. This recipe makes about 10 (4-inch)

    Most people believe “El Chupacabra” is a myth while others don't. Although many have claimed that they have seen it, they don’t have proof. It may just be some stray dog, or canine-type creature. One of the pieces of evidence goes something like this "It can change colors at will, has a hairy, reptilian body with spines all along its back and an obsession with blood. El Chupacabra translated into English means "the goat-sucker," because that's exactly what it does.…

    I am very interested in the Hispanic cultural. I have put a lot into getting to know this culture by visiting the Niagara cafe and talking to my friend Hugo who I have interviewed for this paper. He identifies as Mexican American, and is “hispanish and Latino” he says. This means he is ethnically and racially part of the Hispanic Community. “Only about 25 percent of Hispanic Americans use Hispanic or Latino to describe themselves” (page 217).…

    My expectations before participating in this activity was for it to not be as authentic as it was. I did not realize that there was a place downtown that had such real and good food and wondered why I haven’t heard of this place before. Also, I was surprised with the poverty I saw around the area. I have always grown up in areas that have a decent amount of money and have never been to a spanish speaking country or area before. This experience really opened my eyes to the fact that there are places out there that still have authenticity and still try to resist becoming “Americanized” in society.…

    I can still remember the first day of school. Not the normal first day of school when your mom guides you to your kindergarten classroom, but the first day of school in America. A wave of terror overcame every nerve in my body and my face tensed up as I strutted across the front of my English class. At the time, I was at El Paso Community College and more nervous and anxious now than I was a few months ago when my family first made the move from Juarez, Mexico, to El Paso. I wasn’t completely new to the area or the American way of living since I was born in El Paso, but moved to Mexico shortly after birth.…
