The good news about churro batter? (Is there bad news about churro batter?) 1. It is delicious (this one was developed by San Francisco pasty guru Elizabeth Falkner) and 2. It can be made two hours ahead of cooking time. Wake up early, make the batter, then it's back to bed for a while before you really face the day. And the churros.
