Refrigerate Leftovers: Store any leftover churros in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore their texture.
Freeze for Later: You can freeze the unbaked churro dough by piping it onto a baking sheet and freezing the pieces until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag and bake directly from frozen when ready to enjoy.
