Churros Dough

Sugar Coating

Method

Churros Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Mix in Flour

    Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs

    Allow the dough to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Frying Churros

  1. 5

    Pipe the Churros

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

  2. 6

    Fry Until Golden

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

Sugar Coating

  1. 7

    Mix Sugar and Cinnamon

    In a bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

  2. 8

    Coat Churros

    While the churros are still warm, roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture until fully coated.

Chocolate Sauce Preparation

  1. 9

    Heat the Cream

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

  2. 10

    Melt Chocolate

    Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
