Despite that insane mess I’m left with, every time I leave Costco, I have to grab a churro to share with the kids, in the car.  Speaking of Costco, don’t laugh, but their pizza is seriously my favorite…in Utah.  Is that sad?  Utah is seriously lacking in awesome pizza.  (Suggested Utah pizza, anyone??  I’ve tried lots!)  Excuse my snobbiness, but I can’t help comparing all pizza to my favorite pizzaria in New York, Tony’s.  I’m sure there are a zillion and one Tony’s Pizzarias, but the one in Highland, NY, near my junior high school, awesome.  They made this amazing stuffed pizza, that my dad would always order for special occasions.  And, my friends and I would walk there for school lunch and order the best, plain cheese pizza, ever.  Ahhhh….I dream about it, regularly.What the?  This is a post about churros.  Don’t you love pizza??I’m hungry.

So, I still haven’t decided what to do for New Year’s Eve, but on thing I know for sure…I want some naughty food.  I’m amping-up my diet/exercise efforts for the New Year, so I better live-it-up, right?  Isn’t that how it works?

This came from a previous issue of Southern Living mag.  It is super easy and plenty delicious.  All you need is a box of puff pastry, cinnamon/sugar, and melted butter.  If you want to make a frosting dip, you will want more butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk.

Unfold your puff pastry sheets and cut them in half, with a pizza cutter. Then cut each half into 1 inch strips.

Bake at 450 for about 10 minutes.  Mix together some cinnamon and sugar (maybe 1/2 cup sugar and a 2 to 3 tsp. of cinnamon).  Melt some butter in a small bowl.

Brush each piece with butter and sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top.  Turn over and do the other side, as well.  It works best to just butter a few pieces at a time, then sprinkle.  The butter absorbs pretty quickly.

If you want to make a dipping frosting, use your favorite recipe.  I tried a couple different ones.  I ended up liking 4 TBS softened butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and milk to consistency.  Just add everything to a bowl and mix with a hand-mixer.  You can even heat it, if you want.  If I was making both sheets of the puff pastry, I would double the frosting recipe.
