Are Churros Vegan?
Although the majority of the Spanish dishes are not vegan, and most of them are not even vegetarian, luckily, there is an exception with the churros. Churros in Spain are basically made with wheat flour, sugar, oil, salt, and a churro maker…you won´t need much more.
Something completely different happens with other variations of churros, for example, Mexican churros are made with egg, and in other Latin American countries they use pig fat, so keep it in mind before trying any type of churros.
