tips to make Homemade Churro Bites with Nutella
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying. If it’s not hot enough, the churros will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip for the best shape. The star shape gives the churro bites their classic appearance.
- Experiment with different coatings. You can mix sugar with cocoa powder or add vanilla to the sugar for a twist.
