Spain: Hello! It’s time to make a Spanish dish, churros, the fun way with me, Spain! Now then, everyone, turn to page 34 in your cookboo- wait, we don’t even have a cookbook! Come over here, Romano! I’ll teach you how to make some sweets today!
Romano: Boo, boo~! I’m cloud watching now! I’m busy here!
Spain: Come on, little guy! At least help out your boss a little.
Romano: In exchange for my help, I get 80% of whatever your cooking if it comes out well!
Spain: And I only get 20%?!
Romano: No, you’re only getting 10%! The other 10%… goes to… Belgium.
Spain: My portion is so small! Well, that’s fine. I just wind up eating whatever you can’t eat after all.
Romano: Shut up!
Spain: All right, I’m gonna get the ingredients ready!
Romano: Ye-yeah! Hurry up and do it, you jerk! I’m hungry!
Spain: *laughs* You’re such a kid! By the way, all you kids at home, be sure to let an adult help you with any of the oil and stove stuff in this recipe!
Romano: Don’t treat me like a kid!
Spain: What are you saying? You’re such a shorty too! No matter how much I look at you, you look like a k-
*Romano hits Spain in the vital treasury region*
Spain: Romano… you’re a terrifying kid… GAH!
Romano: Listen up! The next time you treat me like a kid, I’m gonna use my terrifying rapid foot smash punishment on you! *Spain stacks up something* Wh- wait! Hey!
Spain: There we go. There! Now you can reach the top of the desk! Be sure not to fall off the chair now!
Romano: Hey… I’m as tall as you now!
Spain: I’m pretty sure that won’t happen for a long time.
Romano: Ha! I am so big, you jerk!
Spain: *laughs* You really are a kid!
Romano: What was that, you jerk?! Maybe you’d like it if I did my smash punishment on you!
Spain: Ahhh, stop!
*Romano moves around a bit*
Romano: Hmph! I, the big me, shall forgive you for your transactions just now. Be grateful, peasant!
Spain: Huh? You’re not gonna do it?
Romano: You actually wanted me to do it?
Spain: All right, let’s make churros!
Romano: Yeah!
Spain: The ingredients for this recipe are:
An appropriate amount of olive oil for frying
1 tablespoon of salt
1 cup of water
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup of bread flour
1/2 cup of butter
3 eggs
You may use any amount of cinnamon powder depending on your preferences.
You may use any amount of sugar to be mixed with the cinnamon powder and you don’t need to use white sugar.
In my home, we usually make for about 9 people with this recipe,
but if you’re only making for 1 or 2 people, please feel free to half or quarter the recipe.
Romano: *sniff sniff* Wow, this smells so good that I want to eat it now!
Spain: Romano! Don’t eat the cinnamon raw like that! We’ll start off our cooking by making the churro dough!
Romano: *cough ack* So bitter… This is so bitter, you jerk! *hack hack*
Spain: I told you not to eat it raw, dummy! Here, drink some water.
Romano: *drinks* Damn it; this thing smells good but it tastes awful!
Spain: You’re quite a meddlesome kid, Romano. Come on, get the pot now, Romano.
Romano: Y-yeah…
*pot on table*
Spain: Good job! In this pot, we’ll be heating the pot now and we’ll mixing the water, the butter, and the like together later.
Romano: Eek, fire! I’m scared of fire, you jerk! A-are you going to be okay, Spain?
Spain: As long as you’re careful and paying attention while cooking, there’s nothing to be afraid of! Besides, you’ve got your boss on your side! You can put those fears away! *sparkling smile*
Romano: I’m 100 times more scared with you doing this!
Spain: All right then, now put the water, butter, the 1/4 cup sugar, and salt into the pot!
Romano: I’ll do it, I’ll do it! I’m worried about letting you putting the stuff in the pot!
Spain: Hey, it’s dangerous for you to do it!
Romano: I said I’d do it! Be grateful, you jerk!
Spain: Oh fine, if you really want to… *lifts Romano’s stool thing* I’m counting on you to put the ingredients in the pot, Romano!
Romano: …Don’t carry me around like a kid, damn it!
Spain: Woah, don’t get so angry!
Romano: Damn itt!
*pause*
Spain: *sighs* I was covered in almost every ingredient…
Romano: Ha ha! I actually put in the ingredients! I got over my fear of fire and I managed to put it in the pot!
Spain: Yeah yeah, good boy. After putting the ingredients in, keep the pot at a medium heat.
Romano: Okay!
Spain: And just when it’s about to boil… *lifts pot from fire and puts it on table.* remove it from the heat.
Romano: Ohh!
Spain: We can’t have you burning yourself, Romano, so I’ll put some mittens on you. There and there!
Romano: Wooooaaaaaaahhhhh!
Spain: You’re choosing the wrong time to get impressed here…
Romano: Spain’s… actually working!
Spain: I work all the time!
Romano: But I always see you loafing around.
Spain: Why… why do you only see me when I’m taking my siesta… I do some pretty cool things, you know…
Romano: Oh, stop fussin’! What do we do next?
Spain: I always work so hard… cry, cry… weep, weep… cry cry… Next, put in the flour…
Romano: Got it! Just put in the flour, right? All right, all right!
Spain: Next, stir the mixture well… I’d do it, but I’m down…
Romano: Mix, mix, mix, mix… Hey now, don’t get so sad now!
Spain: But I haven’t shown you how I work as a boss…
Romano: I see you do work some of the time so quit worrying, you idiot!
Spain: Really? Really!? REALLY!? You’re serious, right!? You were really watching me do work, Romano! I’m not just some lazy, clumsy-screwball-ding-a-ling of a boss to you, am I?
Romano: S-shut up! Hurry up and tell me what to do next!
Spain: *laughs* Oh yeah! *laughs*
Romano: So, what do I do after I mix in the flour?
Spain: All right, just keep mixing it, Romano. I’ll be adding in the eggs for you to beat in.
Romano: Got ya!
Spain: When you do add in the eggs, be sure to add the eggs one at a time to the dough.
Romano: Oh, that’s going to take long! Add them all at once, damn it!
Spain: If I do that, Romano, you might end up mixing the dough for days on end without a break!
Romano: …Add those eggs one at a time!
Spain: All right! Let the dough rest for a bit… and there’s your churro dough!
Romano: Phew, you made me work hard!
Spain: After that, take the dough like this… and put it inside a pastry bag. Put it in the bag tight!
Romano: Tight!
Spain: If you don’t have a star or jagged tip to use on your pastry bag, the oil might splash on you when you squeeze the dough into the fryer so be careful!
Romano: W-w-woaaahhhh! Can I put in the dough like that? That sounds like fun!
Spain: This is too dangerous for you… Oh, I’ve got it! I hereby appoint you the official roller of churros in the cinnamon and sugar mixture, Romano!
Romano: Huh?
Spain: This is a job only you can do, Romano! I’m counting on you!
Romano: W-wooaaahhh! I got ya! I’ll do it!
Spain: All right!
*frying sounds*
Spain: Now then, you have to squeeze the dough out of the pastry bag carefully into the fryer!
Romano: Woah, you’re dropping it upright!
Spain: It’s like I’m wielding a sword. Cool, huh?
*frying sounds*
Spain: All right, looks like this one’s done frying!
Romano: Woah! Wow, is this really the dough we made before?
Spain: I’ll just leave this churro on some paper towels so the oil will drain. After that, you roll them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture, Romano!
Romano: All I gotta do is roll them, right? Mmmm…
Spain: I’m watching you, so don’t sneak eat any of the churros!
Romano: Damn it. Haha, they’re all coming up so fast! This is so much fun, damn it!
Spain: I’m happy just to hear you say that. To be honest, if you can actually remember to make this, I’d-
Belgium: What’s up, you two! What are you guys doing?
Spain: Oh, Belgium! The two of us are making churros now!
Belgium: So that’s what was making that delicious smell!
Romano: Ah… ummm… I’m helping him make the churros.
Belgium: Oh really? That’s so admirable of you!
Romano: I really didn’t do that much…
Spain: Romano’s actually been working pretty hard today.
Belgium: Oh, that’s amazing! That’s so cool of you!
*derdere Romano sounds*
Spain: Romano might faint any time now, so that should be enough compliments.
Belgium: Hmm?
*deredere Romano sounds*
*music plays and clean up*
Romano: Come on, hurry up! It’s going to get cold, it’s going to get cold, damn it!
Spain: Come on, you don’t need to be in such a hurry! Hey now, don’t run around my legs!
Romano: I wanna eat, I wanna eat, jerk, jerk, jerk! Hurry up, jerk jerk! *makes noises*
Belgium: *laughs* Romano really is an impatient one! It’s so cute!
Spain: Yet he’s always sleeping every day. It’s only during meal time that he moves twice as fast.
*Romano keeps saying, “Hurry up!” and Belgium keeps laughing*
Spain: *thinking* I’m real beat, but it’s also important to teach things like a boss would do to his lackeys.
I get chewed out by my boss quite a bit, but yet I’m spoiling Romano. But still, I had a lot of fun cooking with him, Romano looked like he had fun, so this wasn’t a waste.
It’d be good if he can discover how much fun cooking can be little by little and then he can make his own meals too. And, if possible, maybe he can take up cooking duties too…
*shiver*
Romano: H-hey… I think it just got cold all of a sudden, you jerk!
Belgium: You’re right! Thats not good, is the wind blowing in?
*music ends*
Spain: All right, we’re finished! Let us bless these delicious churros! You know the prayer. Amen!
Belgium: Amen! Okay, let’s eat!
Romano: Chow time!
*Romano eats*
Romano: THIS IS AWESOME, YOU JERK! What is this!? *squirrel chomp* You mean you can make something… *squirrel chomp* this delicious from all of those things!?
Spain: Heh, that’s right!
Romano: It’s so good! Is it this good because I helped out? I am so amazing! Praise me!
Spain: Yup! You helped out a lot when we were making this together! Excellent job!
Belgium: Ooooohhhhhh! Oh goodness, this really is awesome~! It’s so crispy~!
Romano: Mmm, mmm, delicious! Mmm, mmm, this is so awesome!
Belgium: *while making erotic sounds* Deeelicccious~, this is so taasstttyy~! You really must have talent as a cook, Spain!
Spain: Yup! It’s even made personally by me and my lackey!
*Romano eats like a squirrel*
Turkey: *gulp* That’s right. Ahh, nothing beats eating something delicious you made yourself, right?
Spain: That’s right! I think a meal you made yourself comes out great because you did all the work!
Turkey: Still, I think a little more cinnamon would make this better. I like my churros covered in cinnamon!
*!*
Spain: Hmm?!
Turkey: Oh, and I forget to mention something.You can swap out the water for a cup of milk, and it’d taste even more awesome if you added vanilla essence! Try it out, someday!
Spain: Why is Turkey eating churros too?!
