At the Mayan Cafe, we have made several versions of churros over the years, always tweaking what’s the secret inside them. We started with bananas, moved to peaches, added a tiny bit of flan rolled in there, and are currently filling them with creamy mascarpone cheese. The most important part is the batter though. The soft fluffy inside and crispy sweet outside is something that will make you pop these little guys like donut holes. Enjoy!
