Churros

Chocolate Sauce

Method

Churros

  1. 1

    Prepare the dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add flour

    Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour until a dough forms. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Incorporate eggs

    Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

  4. 4

    Heat oil

    In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

  5. 5

    Pipe churros

    Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe churros into hot oil, cutting them to your desired length.

  6. 6

    Fry churros

    Fry churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Dust with cinnamon sugar

    In a bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Roll hot churros in the mixture until well coated.

Chocolate Sauce

  1. 8

    Heat the cream

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream just to a simmer.

  2. 9

    Add chocolate

    Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and glossy.

  3. 10

    Add vanilla

    Stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.
