SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) --

Chile's Supreme Court has ordered a daily newspaper to pay $125,000 to 13 people who suffered burns while trying out a published recipe for churros, a popular Latin American snack of dough fried in hot oil.

The publisher of La Tercera must pay individual damages ranging from as little as $279 to $48,000 for one woman whose burns were particularly severe.

The high court's ruling was announced Monday, seven years after the readers burned themselves while trying out the recipe. Judges determined that the newspaper failed to fully test it before publication, and that if readers followed the recipe exactly, the churros had a good chance of exploding.

i can't believe it's seven years already, i remember seiing on tv the exploding churros;
the recipe said using cold water, when the dough used hot water. When the churros wwere put in the frying pan, they exploded. It was demonstrated by an expert, with an amiantum suit. The oil jumped from the pan ....
