Ingredients :

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Method :

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons oil; bring to a boil.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball, then let it cool slightly.
  3. Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped nozzle.
  4. Heat the frying oil in a deep pot to 375°F.
  5. Pipe 6-inch lengths of dough into the hot oil, using scissors to snip the ends.
  6. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.
  7. Roll the warm churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips and whisk until smooth for the sauce.

Recipe Notes :

  • Chef’s Tip: Use a star-tipped piping nozzle to ensure the ridges develop, which creates more surface area for that signature crispiness.
  • Variation: Add a pinch of espresso powder to the chocolate sauce to deepen the flavor profile for an adult-friendly treat.
  • Storage: Churros are best served fresh, but you can keep them in an airtight container for 1 day and reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
