Ok guys, I've been having a very strong craving for a few dozen Churros and thankfully because I am a guy I know I'm not pregnant.

Now, I only ever see these delightful treats for sale at the stands at ekka, other small fairs and at Southbank Markets.

I am wondering if anyone knows where they can be brought? from like a proper shop\bakery or something akin.

Thank you.

El' Churro

Stop being a fat c*** and eat a stick of celery, fatty.

edit: I just fully read your first post and I missed the part where you already know this information..

I too would like to know where I can get a hit of churro mid week




let me start by saying;

I too suffer from a churro addiction thus I am reluctant to help

but in the case that you have more will power than I;
Weekend markets @ Southbank, churro van is at the west end of the markets just next to the outdoor pub garden area

Why not make them?

They're pretty easy, I did them a while back when I saw the recipe/method on that SBS Food Safari show.

They have Churro places all over the city here.. but in Brisbane I could only ever find them at the markets or Dream world :(

I didn't know what a Churro was until I went to a baseball game here.

Took one look and politely said "no."

I have to agree with Casa.

We used to have these at work all the time. I don't understand it: When I was eating s*** like churros frequently, I kept my weight at 63kg. Since stopping eating churros, my weight has increased to 67kg.

I think the evidence speaks for itself.

Never heard of or seen them in VIC.

Agree with Casa.

I saw them at Dreamworld and I thought I'd wait till later in the day to grab some. By the time I got to the stand the guy was all outta them. f*** I was pissed. LOL

Never heard of or seen them in VIC.

There's a Churro shop at Flinders St station along the group of shops that face Fed Square!

f*** i love churros, only place ive seen them is southbank markets. guess u would have to make them, or even ask the churro guy at southbank on the weekend

One in QLD but it's in Maroochydore.. long way to go for Spanish donut goodness.

get the chocolate & cream
they're awesome by themselves but the chocolate is epic

Ok, this thread has now made me want churros, and I have even less chance of finding them in the middle of f***ing nowhere, so thanks a lot!
Also, they're better without the chocolate and cream imo.

On topic, +1 for make them yourself.

sif live out in the middle of no where though

That looks healthy.

its just a doughnut

umm Do you get wafers with it ?

Never heard of or seen them in VIC.

Yeah, as said - Choco Churro at Flinder St station. http://www.chocochurro.com.au/index.php?id=contactB for locations.

There's a few San Churro's around the place - I know there's one at Knox and Eastland - http://www.sanchurro.com/contact.php for locations.

I've seen them at those asian Tea Bars (For some reason) at chermside and indooropilly.

Wet N wild

Yeah, they're everywhere in melbourne, I never knew what they were till I moved down here. As well as the ones above, I think theres a place in Melbourne Central that does them? And theres a van thats always at the Queen Vic markets. Theres also a place in the food court at the top of collins street that does them, but they're pretty s*** from there.

Khel, when we have our Qantm reunion, you can bring some up? :>

Haha sure :)

sif live out in the middle of no where though

I live where the snow is

Yeah all the theme parks @ gold coast have a monopoly on churros.

I love Churros. The love affair began when I first had them at Disneyland way back in 1996. They're at the places mentioned in this thread fyi. Someone should post a recipe though.

There is a place at Southbank markest as sc00bs said. But they are shiitttt. Used to get the most delicious ones in spain if you feel like jet setting :P

Edit: here's a recepie

http://www.xmission.com/~dderhak/recipe/churros.htm

The Churros

Ingredients: (Makes one platefull)
Vegetable or Olive Oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Prepare to fry the churros by heating oil in a pan (1 to 1&1/2 inches) to 360 degrees F.

To make churro dough, heat water, margarine and salt to rolling boil in 3-quart saucepan; stir in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute; remove from heat. Beat eggs all at once; continue beating until smooth and then add to saucepan while stirring mixture.

Spoon mixture into cake decorators' tube with large star tip (like the kind use to decorate cakes). Squeeze 4-inch strips of dough into hot oil. Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning once, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. (Mix Sugar and the optional cinnamon); roll churros in sugar or dump the sugar on the pile of churros, like the pros. That churro taste will take you right back to your favorite summer days walking the paseos of Spain.

Note: REAL churros in Spain are made without cinnamon mixed with the sugar, but the cinnamon adds an extra nice flavor.

Chocolate for Churro Dunking

4oz dark chocolate, chopped
2 cups milk
1 tbsp cornstarch (also known as cornflour and is the powder that causes the thickening)
4 tbsp sugar

Place the chocolate and half the milk in a pan and heat, stirring, until the chocolate has melted. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining milk and whisk into the chocolate with the sugar. Cook on low heat, whisking constantly, until the chocolate is thickened, about five minutes. Add extra cornstarch if it doesn't start to thicken after 5 minutes. Remove and whisk smooth. Pour and server in cups or bowls for dunking churros. Do not pour over churros, but use the mix for dunking churros after every bite. Served warm.

^^ that sounds pretty disgusting.

I came, I saw, I churro'd.

Found the place TicMan, went yesty morning with my missus. The verdict is that I struggled to get one down. It's like pastry covered in chocolate dipped in chocolate and injected with chocolate. Rich is a massive understatement.

Anyway, in the sprit of 'Pics or lying' here's the evidence:

Can't you just get a plain (ie no chocolate on top or inside) one with cinnamon?

Also, I note pics of your missus were absent so I say you're lying on that count.

Hehe, good call. I can neither confirm nor deny on that count.

I think that's what's in the second pic. Seemed boring though. Might try that next time.

Original churro is just like a donut.

Don't get the ones covered and filled with crap.

I like them normal, cinnamon, best ones.

The Churros on the right look similar to plain Churros but they have white stuff on them that I can't quite make out in the description.

I find it hard to believe that there's a Churro store. Well done TiCman and Pinky for finding and photographing it.

I think that store must be a franchise or something, cos theres another one of those opening up next door to the coles on elizabeth st, near the corner of elizabeth and flinders.

But they do look kinda crap there, its like the Krispy Kremes of Churros. The ones I've had before are just like other people said, just spanish donuts basically, with some sugar and cinamon or some icing sugar sprinkled over it, sometimes with a chocolate sauce that you can dip them in if you want.

I recommend the ones from the van out the back of the Queen Vic markets if you're ever in the area :)

I did the QV Churros today - brilliant! Recommend them over the placey ou went to pinky.

*sigh* I'm gonna be a massive c*** by the time you dudes finish with me

Myself my leading man; Twinsen were in such dire need of churro's that we made them ourselves, and I can say they turned out f***ing amazing, though after about 6 you kinda start to feel a tad ill and very thirsty.

Guys, make them they're easy!!!! and get on the Churro bandwagon!!

my first/only visit to melbourne where the only dragon actually turned out to be a Bee

So.. verdict good Pinky?

You are right - heaps better than that yankee s*** opposite fed square.

Churros@!!! reminded me of Muncheros.

Mexican Dorito's and Black Swan Fetta and Baby Spinach FTW!
thank me later!

Haha, thats the sonic manipulator, he rocks. Gotta admire his dedication to his craft, he even does his thing in that full suit in summer. Theres some pretty entertaining buskers around the city, theres a guy who beatboxes through a didgeridoo as well.

thats right ladies and gents, chermside food court.

Good find, teq.

Who needs churros when you can have Fit's



... yeah

wtf is with the fat one?

Nice work teq, keep the dream alive

lol 3dee.

Those really nice Churros they sell at Movieworld and Seaworld theme parks on the Gold Coast are called "California Churros ",,and apparently you can now buy them from a frozen food distributer ion company on the Gold Coast called Bidvest foods ,,,yummy ,,,,anyone heard of the company ?

no but they sound incredible, almost as good as Astroturf Churros from that other place

is that how men dress in japan?

hill can you please delete your post so it looks like trog did a pointless thread bump.

kthxbye

i see what trog did there

In Australia you can get the ones like they sell at the gold Coast theme parks at www.californiachurros.com.au

haha thanks champ

you're lucky churros are awesome

Its like a spammer...but useful!

bidvest supply to like eagle boys and subway etc
something tells me you can't just walk in and grab a pack of churros :(

This is how I do churros:

http://trog.qgl.org/up/dave_churro.jpg

(well, when I'm in Mexico - or Santa Monica, which is basically the same thing. Possibly a slightly lower incidence of swine flu.)

lol trog. Do you ever smile?

only when I'm happy
:(

That pic makes you look like you weren't enjoying the churro! This one is much better, you kinda look like you might be enjoing it a little TOO much:

trog - did you get Peter Petrelli's autograph while he was eating his churro?

I don't get it !@#

lol snap, tic

If you are ever in Melbourne, you must try churros from "El Churro" located at Northland shopping centre in Preston and at Broadmeados shopping centre... in my opinion they make the best churros in Oz... they are golden, crispy and deliciously soft in the middle. They also make the jumbo filled churros with a variety of fillings.. Caramel is my favourite!..Their hot chocolates are also to die for...
http://www.elchurro.com.au

oh dude what, caramel filled churro?

yes plz

in my opinion your churro shop is crap

last time i went there i had violent diarrhoea for months

They are now selling those nice theme park Churros at the new Robina Theatres on the Gold Coast ,,,and I have been told at the Pac Fair Theater too ...
eat till you get fat and fall over guys

teq's half way there, just hasn't fallen over yet

I cant figure out if all these newbs posting in this thread are spammers or actually legitimate people providing useful information. I'm going to assume the former because I'm a suspicious bastard and just lock this now.

Also churros are awesome.
