Ingredients
  

For the Churros:
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar for coating
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon for coating
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar for dough
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for dough
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiled water
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
For the Chocolate Sauce:
  • 4 oz dark baking chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Equipment

  • Cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic pastry bag
  • Large open star pastry tip
  • Large pot or deep fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or Spoon
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Method:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Sugar Coating. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Make the Churro Dough. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and boiled water. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pipe the Churros. Transfer dough into the pastry bag fitted with the star tip. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Pipe 4-6 inch long strips into hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Step 4: Coat the Churros. Remove churros from oil using a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels. While warm, roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
  5. Step 5: Prepare the Chocolate Sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine chopped dark baking chocolate and heavy cream. Stir until melted and smooth.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! Arrange warm churros on a platter with chocolate sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For gluten-free churros, use a gluten-free baking blend instead of all-purpose flour.
  • To make dairy-free chocolate sauce, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
  • Store leftover churros in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
