Oatmeal Churros, Easy and Simple Ingredients

Some time ago I made churros. But indeed I can't shape food well, so the food is not like what you find on google or in cafes. I can only cook this year. During this pandemic, I learned a lot about cooking. Quite a lot of food that I cook myself. In 2019, I can only cook instant noodles and water. In 2020, I can only cook fried rice. In this year, if you pay attention to my blog, there are many foods that I cook

Currently, in some countries churros are often used as snacks. You can easily find this food on the side of the road. If your place has Street Food, you can find this food. Churros, however, are also often served as breakfast served in hot chocolate or served at Cafe con leche. Cafe con leche is a typical Spanish coffee mixed with hot milk.

Last week, I made churros. Before I share the recipe I made. I want to tell you a little bit about churros. No one really knows where the food came from. In fact, there are 3 different versions of the story about churros. The first version, churros originated in Spain. It was first made by shepherds living in the highlands to replace bread. He made churros due to difficulty accessing the bakery. This causes the churros to form like sheep's horns. Over time, the recipe developed among the shepherds, making it very easy.

The second version says that churros were the first to be made in China. There the food was first known as "You Tiao". That is, fried brown bread. The taste of this cake is salty. Still, I think the food is cakwe. Despite the story, it is a staple of both Spain and Latin America.

In addition to the two versions, there are others. there is a third version mentioning Portuguese sailors who found food similar to churros in northern China. the food is called "you tiao." In Indonesia, "you tiao" is known as cakwe. The sailors found "you tiao" and took it with them. The Spaniards learned this and later changed their recipe by printing the ends of these food sections. That is the origin of the distinctive shape of churros.

Whether Spanish shepherds, Portuguese or Chinese sailors invented churros. However, it was European colonizers who introduced churros to Latin America. Since then, the churros we know today have undergone many changes. Including churros with guava filling in Cuba, churros with "dulce DE leche" in Mexico and versions of churros with cheese in Uruguay.

Regarding the form of this food, it has also undergone many changes. It has churros with straight or spiral lines. With or without cinnamon powder and dulla, dipped in chocolate or eaten plain. One thing I believe in churros is good food. You must try this food. That's how the story goes. Next, I will prescribe this food. I made it a little different. I use oatmeal. It is also very easy to find around you. You can try it at home.

1#. Oatmeal, use in moderation.

2#. Butter, I used two tablespoons

3#. 1 egg

4#. Sugar, to taste

5#. Hot water

6#. Salt, a little

1#. Puree the oatmeal used. I use six tablespoons of oatmeal. And I use a portable blender to make it smooth.

2#. Melt the butter to be used.
