Method

Churros

  1. 1

    Prepare the dough

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

  2. 2

    Add flour

    Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Incorporate eggs

    Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated and smooth.

  4. 4

    Heat oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

  5. 5

    Pipe churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch long strips into the hot oil.

  6. 6

    Fry churros

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

Cinnamon Sugar

  1. 7

    Mix ingredients

    In a shallow bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

  2. 8

    Coat churros

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

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve

    On a serving plate, place the churros alongside scoops of vanilla ice cream. Melt the Abuelita Mexican chocolate and drizzle over the churros. Garnish with a mint sprig.
