Serve these mini churros warm, ideally right after coating for the crispiest bite.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
Reheat briefly in the oven before serving to refresh the crispiness.
Avoid refrigeration as it can make them soggy.
Variations:
Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Substitute the crescent dough with puff pastry for a different texture.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar for a spiced twist.
Serve with a dipping sauce like dulce de leche or vanilla cream.
FAQ:
Q: Can I fry these mini churros instead of baking?

Q: Is it possible to use homemade dough instead of canned dough?
A: Absolutely. Use your favorite choux or pastry dough recipe for an authentic version.
Q: How do I keep the churros crispy?
A: Serve immediately after coating with butter and cinnamon sugar, and avoid refrigeration.
Q: Can I make these gluten-free?
