Churro Fries

So I was making churro’s a few weeks ago.  Pretty normal recipe, not hard to make, something I’ve made before… but I wasn’t really paying attention, distracted by another recipe, and the batter wasn’t quite right but I pushed forward anyway…. When I squeezed the batter out of the bag it was thin and had broken edges and it didn’t get all puffed up in the oil like normal.  BUT they were FANTASTIC!

Thin, crunchy, sweet with a great flavor.  And I thought… ohhh I like this! seriously churro fries – perfect for snacking on.  Oh and a little messy, but so many good foods ARE – messy means you can lick your fingers so that’s always a good thing! Anyway I have to wonder how many recipes were developed from a mistake?
