Churros Recipe

Prepare the Churro Dough

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

Add Flour

Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Cool and Add Eggs

Allow the dough to cool for about 10 minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Heat Oil

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Pipe and Fry Churros

Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Drain and Coat

Remove the churros from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll them in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.

Heat Cream

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

Add Chocolate

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

Add Vanilla

Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well. Pour into a serving bowl.

Serve Cajeta

Pour the cajeta into a small serving bowl, ready for dipping.
