Churros con Chocolate

Category: Desserts, Chocolate

 Ingredients List

  • Churros:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • confectioners”™ sugar
  • Chocolate Sauce:
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 cups milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate (chocolate chips)
  • 1/4 cup sugar

 Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine butter and water and bring to a boil. When mixture is boiling, add in flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Continue to stir and cook the dough for about 1 minute. Transfer to a large mixing bowl or to the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Turn the mixer on medium-high. Beat in the eggs one at a time, waiting until each has been well incorporated before adding the next. Batter may look wet before it comes together, but keep mixing and a smooth dough will form.
Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a medium or large star tip.
Pour about 2-inches of oil into a deep saucepan. Bring the oil to about 365F.

Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate sauce.
Whisk together the cornstarch and milk. Add mixture, along with chocolate and sugar, to a small saucepan. Bring just to boil, whisking occasionally, and cook until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.

Pipe 5 to 6-inch pieces of churro dough into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, then flip and cook until golden on the second side (about 5-6 minutes total). Remove from oil and set on some paper towels to drain, then dust with confectioners”™ sugar.

Serve churros with small cups of chocolate sauce.
