Churro
A churro (, ) is a type of fried dough from Spanish and Portuguese cuisine. They are also found in Latin American cuisine and in other areas that have received immigration from Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries, especially in the Southwestern United States and France. In Spain, churros can either be thin (and sometimes knotted) or long and thick, where they are known as or ''jeringos'' in some regions. They are normally eaten for breakfast dipped in champurrado, hot chocolate, dulce de leche or café con leche. Cinnamon sugar is often sprinkled on top. There are also two slightly different snacks in Portugal, called ''porra'' and fartura, which are filled with jelly instead of the '' doce de leite'', traditional to Brazilian churros.

Fartura (food)
A fartura is a doughnut made of flour, yeast, baking soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon and water, that is fried in oil, in the form of a roll and traditionally sold at fairs in Portugal. It is preferable to consume them when they are hot so that the crunchy surface does not harden. Origins Fartura comes from the Latin root ‘farto,’ meaning full or satiated. One theory is that the Portuguese, when trading in the Far East, would have brought with them new cooking techniques, including modifying the dough of Youtiao, also known as Youzagwei, in southern China. However, they would have changed the aspect to the star shape, because they did not learn the Chinese technique of "pulling" the dough (the Chinese emperor made it a crime with the death penalty if anyone shared knowledge with foreigners). As a result, the abundances are not "pulled" but extruded from a star-shaped mold. Another theory is that farturas may have been an adaptation of the Spanish churros, which were created by sh ...
