Churros

Method

Churros

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted.

  2. 2

    Mix in Flour

    Once boiling, remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs

    Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Frying

    In a large heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Pipe Churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch long strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors as needed.

  6. 6

    Fry Churros

    Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Coat with Sugar

    In a bowl, combine the additional sugar and cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in the sugar mixture to coat.

Chocolate Sauce

  1. 8

    Heat Cream

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

  2. 9

    Melt Chocolate

    Remove the saucepan from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and fully melted.

  3. 10

    Add Vanilla

    Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
