Ingredients
Choux Pastry Dough
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 3 large eggs
- oil for frying (I used coconut oil) - 3 to 4 cups
Cinnamon-Sugar Mix
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Chocolate Dipping Sauce
- 4 ounce bar 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Choux Pastry Dough
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, vanilla, butter, sugar, and salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and add sifted flour stirring for 1 minute.
- Put mixture in a medium bowl. On low speed, add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. After each addition dough should look soft and glossy. Spoon mixture into a pastry bag with a large star tip.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch-oven on medium high heat reaching 350°F. Carefully pipe out batter into a couple of inch lengths up to the diameter of the pan, but do not over crowd the pan.
- Fry for 30-40 seconds, flipping once, until deep golden brown all over. Using a slotted spoon transfer churros to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
- Cinnamon-Sugar mix
- Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Roll churros in cinnamon sugar mix or place mix in a shaker decanter and sprinkle over the churros. Serve immediately.
- Chocolate Dipping Sauce
- Break chocolate in small pieces and place in a medium saucepan with butter, water, sugar and corn syrup.
- Bring ingredients to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Continue to cook at a soft boil for 10 minutes. Lower heat if the sauce begins to boil above the rim of the saucepan.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Serve warm or cool and place in the refrigerator in a jar with a cover. Reheat in the microwave or small saucepan on medium heat.
Notes
- If batter appears to be too thin, add a tablespoon (or more) at a time of sifted flour. The consistency may vary depending on the size of eggs used.
