Notes
Store churros in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day; reheat in a hot oven for 4–5 minutes to revive. For longer storage, freeze churros in a single layer on a tray, then transfer to a bag and reheat from frozen in the oven until crisp. Avoid overheating the oil to prevent burning; start at medium-high heat and adjust as necessary.
