Recipe Card
ingredients
- 140 milliliter Water
- 15 gram Unsalted butter
- 25 gram Granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 65 gram Plain Flour
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 whole Egg
- 100 gram Caster sugar
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 100 gram Dark chocolate
- 50 milliliter Double cream
- 50 milliliter Semi-skimmed milk
- 1 tbsp Golden Syrup
Method
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil water, butter, and sugar and vanilla. Once sugar has dissolved, turn off heat and stir in flour and salt with a wooden spoon until thickened. Let mixture cool for at least 10-15 minutes.
Step 2
Once mixture is cooled, using a hand or stand mixer (or wooden spoon), beat in egg until mixture is smooth and creamy. Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip for that iconic crispy Churro edge.
Step 3
Add enough oil to come halfway up the sides of a large saucepan, and heat over medium heat. If you have a thermometer, heat to 180 C. If not, drop a tiny bit of batter to test whether the oil is hot. If hot enough, it should start sizzling immediately.
Step 4
Holding the piping bag a few centimetres above the oil, carefully pipe churros into desired size ropes. Use kitchen scissors to cut off dough from piping bag. I like to vary shapes and sizes but completely up to you.
Step 5
Fry until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Fry 3 to 4 churros at a time ensuring they're not over-crowded. Remove churros with a slotted spoon or tongs and place onto kitchen paper to drain excess oil.
Step 6
Mix together cinnamon and caster sugar to make cinnamon sugar. Roll drained churros in cinnamon sugar until fully covered and set aside.
Step 7
Make chocolate dipping sauce: chop chocolate into small chunks. In a small saucepan, bring double cream and golden syrup to a boil. Take of the heat, and place chopped chocolate and set aside for 2 minutes. Stir together once melted. Serve warm chocolate sauce with churros and enjoy!
