Tejeringos

Tejeringos are Málaga's unique version of churros—crispy, golden loops of fried dough, freshly made and best enjoyed with a cup of thick hot chocolate or coffee. The name comes from the old device used to "inject" the dough into hot oil (teja + jeringa). Unlike standard churros, tejeringos are lighter, thinner, and typically served in spirals. Found in traditional cafés and local churrerías, especially on weekends and holidays, they are a beloved breakfast or afternoon treat for locals. Tejeringos are a delicious piece of Málaga's morning tradition.
