Churros in Berlin: The Crispy Spanish Dessert Youâll Want to Taste (and Try Making at Home)
If thereâs one dessert that instantly feels like a warm hug on a cold day, itâs churros. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect with a rich chocolate dipâchurros are one of Spainâs most loved sweet treats. In Berlin, theyâre becoming a winter favorite for anyone searching for Spanish dessert, tapas Berlin, or a cozy spot to end a meal with something unforgettable.
In this blog, youâll learn what churros are, how theyâre traditionally made, an easy at-home recipe, and why the best way to truly enjoy them is to taste them freshly prepared at a Spanish restaurant.
Churros are golden, fried dough sticks (or loops) that are typically coated in sugar and served warm. In Spain, churros are often eaten for breakfast or as an evening snackâespecially during winterâpaired with thick hot chocolate for dipping.
The magic is in the texture:
Outside: crisp, lightly crunchy
Inside: airy, tender, slightly chewy
When served fresh, churros are at their absolute bestâhot, fragrant, and perfectly sweet.
Easy Churros Recipe (Traditional Style)
You donât need fancy ingredients to make churrosâjust simple pantry staples. Hereâs a beginner-friendly recipe you can try at home.
2 tbsp sugar (optional, for lightly sweet dough)
1 egg (optional; some Spanish recipes skip it)
Neutral oil (sunflower/canola)
Sugar + cinnamon (mix to taste)
For chocolate dip (optional but recommended)
1 tsp cornstarch (for thicker dip, optional)
Bring water, butter (or oil), sugar, and salt to a boil.
Lower the heat and add the flour all at once. Stir quickly until it forms a smooth dough ball and pulls away from the pot.
Let it cool for 5â7 minutes. If using egg, mix it in after cooling slightly.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag with a star nozzle (this gives churros their classic ridged shape).
Pipe 10â12 cm strips onto parchment paper.
Heat oil to about 175°C (hot but not smoking).
Fry churros in small batches until golden brown, turning once or twice.
Remove and drain on paper towels. While warm, roll them in sugar-cinnamon.
5) Make the chocolate dip
Heat milk, add chopped chocolate, and stir until smooth. For thicker Spanish-style chocolate, whisk in a little cornstarch and simmer for 1â2 minutes.
