If there is one dessert that I always looked forward to when I was growing up in Mexico, it was churros. They are the perfect combination of sweet, crunchy and just plain delicious!

Since they are pretty sweet, we usually only ate them on special occasions – like during the holiday season. That made them even more special and made me crave them all the more.

Making authentic churros can take some practice and sometimes don’t turn out perfectly. Fortunately, there are other recipes that are easier to make, but that have the same great taste. Today I want to share one of those recipes. These quick and easy churro sticks are made using Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry sheets, some butter, and a cinnamon-sugar combination.

Puff Pastry is such a versatile ingredient. I use it for so many recipes, like the following:

1. Strawberry and Cream Napoleon
2. Peaches and Cream Napoleon
3. Prosciutto and Gouda Turnovers

I love how you can take them out of the freezer and have them ready to make any of these delicious recipes in a hurry.

All you have to do for these quick and easy Puff Pastry churros is cut the Puff Pastry Sheets into strips and bake them according to the package instructions. Once they come out, brush some butter onto them, and then finish them off with a delicious cinnamon sugar mixture.

These may not be 100% authentic churros, but they are a delicious recipe that mimics the same flavors and that everyone that tries them loves! I made these for my husband and boys tonight and serve them with a little bit of ice cream. Needless to say, they were begging for more.

These are perfect for a dessert when you have family and friends over. You can make a lot in a short amount of time and you don’t have to worry about getting the churro batter just right or having the oil at the right temperature.

I hope that you enjoy these as much as we do. Be sure to check out more Puff Pastry recipes here.
