Description

Delicious sweet treat from Spain. Churros with a semi-sweet chocolate sauce. One of my favorites!

Ingredients

Scale

For the churros

  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 1/4 cup (60g) butter
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 3.9 oz. (110g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • oil for frying
  • sugar/cinnamon to cover the churros

For the chocolate sauce

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. cocoa powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1.8 oz. (50g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  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.

Notes

  • Enjoy fryin’!
