Ingredients

Churros

  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Egg
  • 2-3 cups Canola Oil for frying

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1/4 cup Granulated White Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon

Chocolate Sauce

  • 150 grams Dark Chocolate melted
  • 150 Whipping Cream

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt; bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Once it starts boiling, remove the pan from the heat, and stir in flour until well combined.
  • Add the eggs gradually, beating continuously until everything is incorporated. The dough must be fairly thick, smooth and pliable.
  • Let it cool for a few minutes before handling.
  • Meanwhile, start filling your deep fryer, or frying pan with a thick bottom with oil, about 3-4 inches deep. Preheat oil to 160° C (C (375° F), or until it is sizzling.
  • Prepare a baking tray and put parchment paper.
  • Dust the parchment paper with a little flour to prevent churros dough from sticking.
  • Fill the pastry bag fitted with a star-strip (I used 1M by Wilton). Start piping about 3-inch long churro on top of parchment paper, and cut using a kitchen scissor.
  • Dip your fingers in the flour, and carefully pick up each churro and place 3-4 churros into the heated oil. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
  • Using a slotted spoon or tongs, carefully turn the churros once about midway through to cook them evenly.
  • Transfer the churros onto a paper-towelled plate to remove excess oil.
  • Combine cinnamon and sugar onto a big plate, then roll the churros into the mixture while warm.

Chocolate Sauce

  • Place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Simmer for five minutes.
  • Pour the heavy cream over chocolate.
  • Stir slowly until the chocolate has melted, becomes smooth and well combined.

Notes

  • This recipe will give you 3 dozens of a 3-inch churro.
  • If you want your churros to have softer texture inside, using the same recipe, try adding 1/4 cup of whole milk when boiling the water, butter, sugar, and salt.
  • The dough can be prepared ahead of time and kept refrigerated.  Just take them out and fry them right before serving time.
  • For safety purposes, I did not pipe out these churros from the piping bag straight into the hot oil to prevent accidents such as dropping the piping bag or the piping bag tearing.
  • Be creative and try different sweet sauces like caramel, creme Anglaise or any type of dessert sauce.
