"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Ingredients:  
1 c. (all-purpose) flour
1 c. water with 1/8 tsp. of salt
Vegetable oil
Plate of granulated or powdered sugar
Optional: Anis
Directions:
Directions:
Sift the flour in a mixing bowl, while bringing the salted water to a boil.
Pour the boiling water over the flour, stirring lightly until the dough forms into a ball - about 30 seconds. The dough should be compact, but not runny or too soft. (If you've decided to add Anis, this is the moment, not too much though!) If you have a churrera or a cookie press, load it up with the dough. If not, a big freezer zip lock or a pastry bag with a corner cut off works, too. Use a star shaped tip, if you have it. Squeeze dough onto waxed paper in about 6 inch strips. Heat the oil until very hot. Fry the dough in the super-hot oil, turning once when you see the edges barely begin to pick up color. (think pancakes) Fry for about 5 minutes total. Remove with a slotted spoon, draining as much oil as possible and place on the sugar plate and roll in the sugar. The churros will be ready to eat almost immediately.

Can be enjoyed with a cup of THICK hot chocolate. :-D
