Notes
Mixing the batter: Stir the egg (at room temperature for easier mixing) and vanilla into the butter mixture quickly to incorporate the ingredients well.
Don't undercook them: The churros should be crispy and golden brown after frying.
Drain off any excess oil: Transfer the churro bunnies onto paper towels as soon as they're cooked, so the excess grease can be soaked up.
