I love churros! These crispy Mexican fritters with sweet cinnamon sugar are very common at fairs. In my border hometown, people wait hours in line to get warm churros with chocolate dipping sauce. I have tried several recipes to make them at home and this is by far the best.

Kentucky Blue Ribbon All-Butter Pound Cake
This is the recipe my Grandmother would make every year during the holidays. I found the recipe tucked in her Bible when she passed, and it was written in her Grandmother's handwriting. It's been in my family for at least 7 generations, and in 2012, I won a Blue Ribbon at the Kentucky State fair by following her exact instructions. Tastes like pure love!
