Churro Dough

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

Chocolate Sauce

Strawberry Sauce

For Frying

Method

Churro Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is boiling.

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the flour until a dough forms. Return to medium heat, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan.

  3. 3

    Cool and Mix in Eggs

    Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  1. 4

    Prepare the Coating

    In a medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.

Chocolate Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Chocolate Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until smooth and melted. Set aside.

Strawberry Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Strawberry Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Blend if a smoother texture is desired. Set aside.

Frying Churros

  1. 7

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 8

    Pipe and Fry the Churros

    Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Carefully pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  3. 9

    Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

    Remove the churros from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Serving

  1. 10

    Serve

    Serve the churros warm with chocolate sauce and strawberry sauce on the side for dipping.
