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.

  2. 2

    Mix in the flour

    Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball. Let it cool for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Add eggs

    Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°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 of dough into the hot oil.

  6. 6

    Fry the churros

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

  7. 7

    Coat with cinnamon sugar

    Roll the hot churros in cinnamon sugar until fully coated.

Chocolate Sauce

  1. 8

    Heat the cream

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

  2. 9

    Melt the chocolate

    Remove the cream from heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until completely melted and smooth.

  3. 10

    Add vanilla

    Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
