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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Coat the Churros:
   • While still warm, roll the churros in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
4. 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.
