30. Churro Poppers

So this kinda happened tonight. Churro poppers filled with vanilla bean pastry cream.😳 oh.my.goodness. Yesterday I had egg yolks leftover from a swiss meringue I'd made. The only quick thing I could come up with was pastry cream. Today I had to decide what to make to use the pastry cream and I've been wanting to make churros like forever, ask @squidkiddesign 😝 so I decided to make bite size ones and fill them with pastry cream. Winner! #churros #cinnamonchurros #churropoppers #vanillabeanpastrycream #pastrycream #mexicanchurros
