Ingredients

  • 250 ml water 1 cup
  • 100 gm butter unsalted,
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 160 gm plain flour 1 1/4 cups
  • 3 egg 2 if very large
  • 750 ml vegetable oil 3 cups
Chocolate Sauce
  • 100 gm dark chocolate good quality up to 70% chopped
  • 200 ml cream 3/4 cup
Sugar for sprinkling
  • 200 gm caster sugar 1 cup
  • 20 gm cinnamon 1 Tablespoon
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder optional, or salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Chocolate Sauce
    Cup of Yum
  1. Start by making the chocolate sauce. Warm the cream, take off the heat and stir in the chocolate till melted. Keep warm. It will thicken up more once cooled. ( if you like a thinner sauce add a little more warmed cream and mix through.)
Churros dough
  1. Put the butter water and salt into a small pot and heat until the butter is just melted. Stir in the flour and mix well to combine. Stir over a low heat for 1 minute. Cool for a couple of minutes.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. The batter will be quite stiff . .
  3. Spoon the batter into a piping bag with a star tube
  4. Prepare a flat plate with the 200 gm sugar and cinnamon mixed together. This will be to roll the Churros in when they are cooked.
  5. Choose a low sided pot or deep fry pan. Put this on a medium heat. Test the temperature by dropping a small amount of dough into it and check if it bubbles.
  6. When the oil is ready begin to pipe long fingers of dough into the pan only a couple at a time. Cut the length of churros fingers you'd like as they come out of from the piping bag. A pair of scissors or a small knife will make it easier to break them off into fingers.
  7. Fry them , turning till they are golden then remove them with tongs onto draining paper. Once drained roll them in the cinnamon sugar and put onto a plate
  8. Serve with chocolate sauce

Notes

  • Make sure the batter isn't too hot when you add the eggs
  • If your batter is very thin and runny you will need to add a little extra flour
  • Make sure the oil is at 180 C before you pipe in your churros or they will soak up too much oil.
