Ingredients
 

For the churros:

  • 1 cup 125g Flour
  • 1 cup 240ml Water
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil/vegetable oil

For the chocolate sauce:

  • 100 g 3.5oz Dark chocolate
  • ½ cup 120ml Heavy cream

For coating the churros:

  • ¼ cup 50g Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • DIRECTIONS
    1. Prepare churros dough: pour the water into a medium sized saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of oil, salt and bring to a boil.
    2. Once the water boils, remove from heat, add flour and stir until smooth dough forms. If needed transfer the dough to a lightly oiled surface and knead until smooth.
    3. Transfer the dough into a churrera or double piping bag fitted with a star tip. Set aside while oil heats.
    4. Prepare the coating: in a shallow bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
    5. Prepare chocolate sauce for churros: chop dark chocolate, transfer to a large bowl. In a small sauce pan heat heavy cream, pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir until smooth and thick. Transfer to a mug or small bowl.
    6. Fry the churros: Heat oil for frying in a Dutch-oven or deep skillet to 350F (180C). Pipe strips of dough into hot oil using a pastry bag. Fry in batches (4-5 churros at the time) until golden; drain on paper towels.
    7. Roll the churros in the sugar-cinnamon mixture and serve immediately.
    Notes:
    • Make sure you are using two 2 Piping bags (1 in each other), or a piping bag that is made of not made of thin plastic, otherwise it can tear.
