Churro Donut Recipe (With Canned Biscuits)

There's something undeniably magical about the aroma of cinnamon and sugar wafting through the air, especially when the source is a batch of freshly baked churro donuts. That magical feeling is something I often experienced growing up when my daddy used to make my siblings and I these churro donuts as a snack or dessert.

Enjoyed with a cup of hot chocolate or chai tea, these churro donuts can be dipped in caramel, Nutella, or enjoyed alone to allow the flavor of the cinnamon-sugar to really shine through. I hope you enjoy this churro donut recipe as much as I do, and that is becomes a comforting staple in your home!
