How to Make Churros with Chocolate Dipping Sauce

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, ½ cup of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Place the pan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture begins to simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dough cool for 5-7 minutes.

Once the dough has cooled slightly, crack 2 eggs into a small bowl and whisk them lightly. Gradually add the eggs to the dough, stirring thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy. The dough should have a pipeable consistency. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip.

Pour vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2-3 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C. Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature and maintain it during frying.

Pipe the dough directly into the hot oil, forming 4-6 inch lengths. Use scissors to cut the dough from the piping bag. Fry 3-4 churros at a time to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the churros and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining dough.

In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.

In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup of dark chocolate chips and ¼ cup of heavy cream. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and pour into a serving bowl.

Arrange the churros on a serving plate and place chocolate dipping sauce alongside. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
