    Maybe you know these kinds of situations too… when you listen to a certain song or you smell a certain food or perfume you get instantly transported in your mind to a memory where this song or smell played an important role or is somehow connected with a (more or less) important memory. I have for example a compilation of songs I call “Pet Sematary Songs”. When I was a child I was reading Steven King books like crazy and one of them was “Pet Sematary” – back then I listened to only a few CDs with the same songs over and over. Nowadays when I hear these songs I am immediately back in my old bedroom, lying on the bed and reading this book. Every single time I listen to one of those songs ;) It’s quite a strong connection. How are these Churros with Chocolate Sauce connected to that you may ask? Well…. ;)

    I had churros for the first time back in the days when I was working for Disney in Florida. Some may know I worked for the mouse for some time. Churros were a popular sweet snack in the parks and on one of my many visits to the parks I tried churros for the first time and fell in love immediately ;) When I eat churros now, I immediately think of myself walking through EPCOT with one of the giant churros, Disney music in the background, the sun in my face and having a blast. The smell of fat, sugar, and cinnamon takes me back e-v-e-r-y time.

    The churros I made at home are tiny mini churros compared to the churros you get in the amusement parks. If you want them bigger you can do that with this recipe – no problem. You can also shape them bow-like – I heard people from Madrid are used to that kind of shape… better said: do whatever shape or size you like. The churros will be delicious no matter how they look ;)

    When making the dough you might want to keep an eye on the texture or better said moisture of the dough. The more moisture you get out of the dough while cooking it, the sharper the edges of the churros when frying them. The dough will be a bit tougher to work with though. Some like the churros more defined, others don’t care. Like me ;) They taste the same anyways at the end…

    When it comes to the chocolate sauce, there are also several opinions on how that should look like or better said about the consistency. Seems churros are a very controversial bake ;) I prefer the chocolate sauce thick so I can dunk the churros into it and there is a lot of chocolate sauce on the churros – my bf, on the other hand, prefers to make the chocolate sauce more like chocolate milk and then dunk the churros into it. I don’t know… as long as there is chocolate at all… I don’t mind how it looks like :P

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • Deutsch
    1. Add the water, butter, sugar, and salt to a medium-sized pot. Mix and bring to a boil. As soon as the water is boiling, add the flour and mix until you get a sticky dough – it does not take much time. Cook until the bottom of the pot is covered with a white layer and the dough comes off easily from the bottom and sides. Remove from the heat and let cool down for some time.

    2. When the dough is not too hot anymore, add the egg and stir with a wooden spoon or a handheld mixer until everything is well combined – work quick, or the egg will cook. Fill into a piping bag with a large star tip and set aside.

    3. Add oil to a pot or frying pan and heat up. The oil is ready, when you stick the end of a wooden spoon into the oil and bubbles appear on the wood. Pipe 10cm/4 inches long churros directly into the hot oil and cut off with a scissor. You can also pipe churros first onto a baking parchment if you do not want to work over the hot oil. Do not add too many churros to the oil at a time, they tend to stick together if there are too many. Fry until the churros come up to the surface and have a nice golden brown color. Take out and let drip off excess fat on a paper towel, then roll in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon to coat the churros completely.

    4. For the chocolate sauce add the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and mix with the vanilla extract, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Heat up in several 20-second steps and stir in between until hot and well combined. Add the chopped chocolate and let sit for 2-3 minutes, then mix until the chocolate has melted and the sauce is thick and smooth. Serve the churros with the warm chocolate sauce.

    1. Das Wasser mit der Butter, Zucker und Salz in einen Topf geben und zum Kochen bringen. Sobald das Wasser kocht, das Mehl dazugeben und gut verrühren, bis sich ein großer Klumpen Teig bildet. Der Teig ist perfekt, wenn sich am Boden des Topfes eine helle Schicht bildet und sich der Teig leicht vom Boden und den Seiten des Topfes löst. Vom Herd nehmen und etwas abkühlen lassen.

    2. Wenn der Teig etwas abgekühlt hat, das Ei dazugeben und mit einem Holzlöffel oder einem Handrührer zu einem glatten Teig verarbeiten. Hier sollte man schnell arbeiten, damit das Ei nicht gerinnt. Den Teig in einen Spritzbeutel mit großer Sterntülle füllen und zur Seite legen.

    3. Das Öl in einen Topf oder Pfanne mit hohem Rand geben und erhitzen. Das Öl ist heiß genug, wenn man einen Holzlöffel ins Öl hält und sich Blasen bilden. Den Teig in etwa 10cm lange Teigstränge spritzen und mit einer Schere abschneiden. Das kann man entweder direkt im Öl machen, oder auf einem Stück Backpapier und dann ins Öl geben. Nicht zu viele Churros auf einmal ins Fett geben, da die Temperatur sonst zu stark fällt und die Churros auch zusammenleben können. Die Teigwürste so lange frittieren, bis sie nach oben steigen und eine goldbraune Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Öl herausfischen, auf einem Papiertuch etwas abtropfen lassen und dann in einer Mischung aus Zimt und Zucker rollen, bis sie komplett damit bedeckt sind.

    4. Für die Schokoladensoße die Sahne zusammen mit dem Vanille Extrakt, braunem Zucker, Kakao und Salz in eine mikrowellensichere Schüssel geben und in mehreren Schritten erhitzen – zwischendurch immer wieder mal umrühren. Die gehackte Schokolade dann in die heiße Sahnemischung geben und für 2-3 Minuten stehen lassen, dann umrühren und so lange rühren, bis eine glatte Schokoladensoße entstanden ist. Die Churros mit der warmen Soße servieren.
