Cinnamon Churros

Churros is one of my husband's favorite desserts. Every time we go to Costco or Disneyland, he loves to grab one on the go. I wanted to experiment in doing a baking version of this lovely desserts and to my surprise, it tastes amazing and allow me to feel less guilty when indulging it. I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I do!
