When did Ritz crackers start? ›

Ritz Crackers is a brand of snack cracker introduced by Nabisco and Nestlé in 1934. The original style crackers are disc-shaped, lightly salted, and approximately 46 millimetres (1.8 in) in diameter. Each cracker has seven perforations and a finely scalloped edge.

A churro is a cinnamon- and sugar-topped fried pastry dough stick with Spanish and Portuguese origins. Churros are similar to doughnuts, but they have ridges because they are piped out of a pastry bag.

What goes in churros. All you need is flour, baking powder, oil and boiling water to make the batter, then cinnamon and sugar for coating. Boiling water is key here – it makes the batter a unique “gummy” texture so when piped and cooked, it retains the signature ridges.

In Spain, churros are only coated in sugar and served with a chocolate dipping sauce. In Mexico, churros are coated in a sugar and cinnamon mixture and can be eaten alone or with dipping sauces like chocolate or caramel.

If you notice they are raw on the inside, pop them back in the pan to fry an additional minute or two. If the exterior of the churro is dark but the inside is still raw the oil might be too hot, which leads to uneven cooking of the dough. Make sure the dough stays around 360°F.

The answer as to whether or not dogs can eat Ritz crackers isn't as straightforward as you might think. While dogs can technically eat a few Ritz crackers without any negative consequence, they aren't the healthiest choice for your furry friend and shouldn't be fed regularly.

How do you know if Ritz crackers are no longer good to eat? Inspect the crackers for signs of staleness or an off odor. If the crackers are stale, have an unusual smell, or show any signs of mold, they should not be consumed.

Youtiao is like China's version of churros, without all the sugar. China's version of fried dough is called youtiao, also known as Chinese crullers, and they are a breakfast favorite.

In Spain, churros can either be thin (and sometimes knotted) or long and thick, where they are known as porras (or jeringos in some regions).

Churros are kind of the Spanish version of donuts. Taco Bell ripped them off with their Cinnamon Twists. The original Spanish churros were made with just flour and water (maybe some oil) dough but nowadays in Mexico, churro batter is enriched with eggs, butter and sugar.

Churros Around the World

In Spain, churros are often enjoyed for breakfast, dipped in thick hot chocolate or café con leche. In Mexico, street vendors and churrerías (churro shops) serve them with a variety of toppings and fillings, and they are a popular snack at fairs and festivals.

Churro is the term for fritters. The most typical of Spanish breakfasts comprises chocolate (hot chocolate) con churros.

It's best to use a medium sized star tip. If you use one that's too large, you will just have churros that are too thick. I know this does kind of sound good but it becomes a problem when you're frying them. The outside of them will cook much quicker than the inside, leaving you with raw churros.

Churros taste like a freshly fried sugary donut but better. Made of dough, fried, and sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon and sugar mixture, this dessert is crunchy on the outside. Sometimes the inside contains chocolate, dulce de leche, or sweet jelly.

Though traditional churros are actually vegan and made with just water, flour, sugar, oil, and cinnamon, it's hard to find vegan churros at restaurants as they tend to add icky, unnecessary ingredients like eggs and dairy.

In terms of the nutritional aspects of churros, they do contain some protein and fiber, but it's important to note that these are offset by the high sugar and fat content.
