Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Churros
  • 250 ml water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 150 g plain flour
  • Oil for deep-frying
  • 100 g caster sugar mixed with 2 tsp cinnamon for coating
Chocolate Sauce
  • 200 g dark chocolate 70%, finely chopped
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Combine the water, sugar, salt and oil in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat. Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together into a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  3. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
  4. Heat oil to 180°C in a deep pan. Pipe 15 cm lengths of dough directly into the oil, cutting with scissors. Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden and crisp.
  5. Drain on paper towels, then immediately toss in the cinnamon sugar.
  6. For the chocolate sauce: heat the cream until just simmering. Pour over the chopped chocolate and butter. Stir until smooth. Add vanilla.
  7. Serve the churros hot with the warm chocolate sauce for dipping.
