Ingredients
DOUGH
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
FRYING & COATING
- oil - for frying
- ½ cup sugar (fine or powdered)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
CHOCOLATE DIP
- 2 ounces chocolate - cut into smaller pieces
- 5 fluid ounces all-purpose cream
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine milk, water, sugar, salt and butter together then bring to boil over medium heat. Remove from heat once it starts to boil.
- Stir in the flour immediately to the liquid mixture and stir gently until a loose dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool down for 3-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate dip by placing the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl, heat for 10 seconds on high and stir until chocolate is melted. Pulse for another 5-10 seconds if needed.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat it into the dough with a whisk, or use an electric mixer.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large 4 or 5 star tip.
- Heat oil in a deep pan (about 4 inch deep) over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, squeeze out about 5-6 inch of dough and using a pair of scissors, cut it on the other end dropping it to the oil. Fry 5-6 pieces at a time
- Fry 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from oil and place them on a plate covered with paper towels to remove excess oil. Roll or sprinkle the churros with the sugar-cinnamon mix.
- Serve while warm with the chocolate dip.
