Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 2 Large eggs
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 4 ounces Bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, unsalted butter, granulated sugar (2 tablespoons), and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once the mixture boils, reduce the heat to low and add the all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 2 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
Pipe 4- to 5-inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting the dough with scissors or a knife. Fry 3-4 churros at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
Remove the churros from the oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet to drain excess oil.
In a shallow bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and granulated sugar (0.5 cup). While the churros are still warm, roll them in the spiced sugar mixture until evenly coated. Set aside.
For the chocolate dipping sauce, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam (do not let it boil).
Remove the cream from heat and stir in the chopped bittersweet chocolate. Continue stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract to finish the sauce.
Serve the churros warm with the chocolate dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
