Ingredients
The Churros:
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons water
- a pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter , cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup +1 tablespoon (75g) all-purpose flour , sifted
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups or more oil , for frying
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
The chocolate sauce:
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup milk
- 3.5 oz. (100g) dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
The Churros.
- In a small saucepan, bring to a boil the water, salt, sugar, and butter. Add the sifted flour and stir constantly until the dough forms and it unsticks from the sides of the saucepan. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for a minute. Not too much, though, it should still be warm.
- While stirring, beat the eggs into the dough. Transfer to a piping bag with a star nozzle. The wider the better.
- In a deep pot or a frying pan, heat the oil until a cooking thermometer shows 360°F (180°C). Pipe strips of the dough into the oil cutting ends with a knife. Do a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Roll the fried churros in this mixture.
The chocolate sauce.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/2 cup milk. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, place the remaining 1/2 cup milk and the chocolate. On a low heat, stir constantly until the chocolate melts. Whisk in the cornstarch and milk mixture. Add the sugar.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, whisking constantly until the chocolate sauce thickens. Serve the chocolate sauce alongside the churros for dipping. Enjoy!
