Churros and hot vanilla scented chocolate for a autumn morning

Today I felt that fall finally arrived after so much warm weather. Fall always brings akind of sadness because I know that puts an end to the warm nights where we dined al fresco, of barbecues with friends on weekends, the aroma of freshly cut grass and lazy afternoons reading under the sun .


On Sunday  dawned autumn,  clear blue sky and cool very cool


Since I am the first to wake up at home, right away I thought to give us a little pleasure.Despite I have horror to deep fry, but, from time to time is nice. The worst is the after, when  comes to cleaning  all these mess on the kitchen. Anyway, I thought followed churros with hot creamy chocolate, scented with vanilla. As do as the Spanish. Churros  must be  sink in that creamy and steamy  chocolate .A little indulgent for  autumn .

The churros are super easy to make, is the basic  choux mass  and ideal is to have a churro machine so it will not curl when frying.
