'Churros' in Seville

First of all, what are churros? Churros consist of a thick batter which is fried into a spiral wheel. They are very doughy and when dipped in to sugar, coffee or thick hot chocolate are truly delicious. As a Gastronauta, for me churros means the ideal Saturday breakfast material. They are a worthy alternative to the English fry-up for those of you who enjoy a bit of grease first thing in the morning.

You can have churros in many 'churrerias' in Spain. But, if you want to have the best churros in Seville, then you have to try 'Churreria Criado' . This establishment, located in the outskirts of Seville in San Lucar la Mayor, was first set up in 1914 and five generations have been making churros there ever since. The churros were originally made by the women in the family using their very own secret recipe, but today you will see the men doing most of the cooking. What can I say, I have had churros all my life, these ones from Churreria Criado are among the best I have ever had. The service was great, the price was even better and the people who worked there were very nice and very proud of their little enterprise. This a definite must for all true Gastronautas especially those of you who are not calorie counting.
