Churros

Cinnamon Sugar

Method

Churros Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Churro Dough

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

  2. 2

    Add the Flour

    Once the mixture is boiling, remove it from heat and stir in the flour until it forms a smooth ball of dough.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Eggs

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

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Pipe the Churros

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

  6. 6

    Fry the Churros

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

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  1. 7

    Mix the Cinnamon Sugar

    In a shallow bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

  2. 8

    Coat the Churros

    Roll the hot churros in the cinnamon sugar 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 starts to simmer.

  2. 10

    Melt the Chocolate

    Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
