Churros Dough:
- 250g flour (a little less than 2 cups)
- 70g butter
- 3 small eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 400ml water (2 cups)
- 50g sugar (half a tea cup)
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
For Frying:
- Plenty of vegetable oil
For Coating:
- Sufficient amount of sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
Chocolate Sauce:
- 50g dark chocolate
- 50g milk chocolate
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a saucepan, combine water, butter, vanilla sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling and the butter is melted, reduce the heat to low. Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Continue to cook, stirring, until a film forms on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and let the dough cool.
- Once cooled, add the eggs one at a time, beating well with a mixer after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Shape and Fry the Churros:
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with the dough.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer until it reaches about 175°C (350°F).
- Pipe the dough into the hot oil, cutting it with scissors into desired lengths.
- Fry the churros until golden brown on all sides, turning as needed.
- Remove the churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Coat the Churros:
- While still warm, roll the churros in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
- Prepare the Chocolate Sauce:
- Melt the dark and milk chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
- Serve the churros warm with the melted chocolate sauce for dipping.
