Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 Tablespoons white sugar
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
a deep-fry thermometer; a cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic pastry bag; a large star pastry tip (such as Wilton #2110; optional)

Steps:

  • In a small, shallow bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the water, sugar, salt and vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil then remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour, mixing until it forms a smooth ball.
  • Heat 3 to 4 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed stockpot set over medium-high heat until it reaches 375ºF. (There should be a minimum of 3 inches above the oil to prevent it from bubbling over.) Line a plate with paper towels.
  • Transfer the dough to a cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic bag fitted with a large star tip (optional).
  • Pipe the dough over the pot of oil to a length of about 4 inches, then using scissors or a sharp knife, cut it so it releases into the oil. (Stand back to avoid any splatters.) Pipe two to three churros into the oil at a time, frying them until they're golden brown and cooked through.
  • Transfer the churros to the paper towel-lined plate to drain for 2 minutes, then while they are still hot, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat the frying and coating process with the remaining dough.
  • Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl.
  • Warm the heavy cream in small saucepan. (Do not let it boil.) Pour the heavy cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute then stir to combine.
  • It's important to use a cloth or heavy-duty plastic pastry bag, as a regular resealable plastic bag is not thick enough and will split open if you try to pipe the churro dough through it.
  • The chocolate sauce will thicken as it cools, so it's best to make it right before you're ready to serve it with the churros.
  • A pastry tip isn't essential, however using the large star-shaped tip will give the churros the textured lines characteristic of classic churros.
  • This churro recipe can be easily doubled.
