Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 ml Water
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar for coating churros
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 100 ml Whole milk
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat until the butter has melted completely.
Reduce the heat to low, add the flour all at once, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the saucepan.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the dough cool for 5-7 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
In a large, deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F). Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the ends. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per batch). Remove and drain on paper towels.
Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish. Roll the churros in the mixture while they're still warm to ensure the coating sticks.
For the chocolate dipping sauce, chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream and whole milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Pour the hot cream and milk mixture over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and creamy.
Serve the churros warm with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
