Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons (35 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • Vegetable oil or canola oil (about 4 cups/1 liter) for deep frying
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
  • 4 ounces (115 g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon (14 g) unsalted butter (optional, for chocolate sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately add 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides, about 1-2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until dough is glossy and slightly sticky.
  4. Pour vegetable oil into a heavy pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with the dough. Pipe 4-6 inch strips directly into hot oil, cutting dough with scissors or knife. Fry in small batches.
  6. Fry churros for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn gently.
  7. Remove churros and drain on paper towels briefly. While warm, roll in cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  8. To make chocolate sauce, melt 4 ounces dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave. Warm 1/2 cup heavy cream until steaming and whisk into chocolate.
  9. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  10. Serve churros immediately with warm chocolate sauce for dipping.

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady at 350°F (175°C) to avoid greasy or burnt churros. Drain churros on paper towels immediately after frying. Serve warm for best texture. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and coconut oil. Reheat leftovers in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to regain crispiness.
