Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Chocolate Dip:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat and add flour all at once. Stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  3. Transfer dough to a mixing bowl. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  6. In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Carefully pipe strips of dough about 4-6 inches long into the hot oil, cutting the dough with scissors or a knife. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  8. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  10. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Toss the warm churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  11. For the chocolate dip: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, heat gently in a saucepan over low heat.
  12. Serve churros immediately with the chocolate dip.

Notes

  • For baked churros, pipe dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Toss in cinnamon sugar immediately after baking.
  • Ensure your oil is at the correct temperature for crispy churros. Too low and they will be greasy; too high and they will burn before cooking through.
  • You can adjust the sweetness of the cinnamon sugar coating to your preference.
