Churros
Golden, crispy churros coated in cinnamon sugar and served with rich chocolate dipping sauce — the ultimate indulgent snack made easily at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for dough)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat to 375°F. Line a baking tray with paper towels.
- In a saucepan, combine water, butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer. Stir in flour until mixture forms a dough ball. Let cool slightly, then beat in eggs one at a time until smooth.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with the dough.
- Pipe 4 to 6 inch strips of dough directly into hot oil. Use scissors or a knife to cut the dough from the bag.
- Fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.
- Mix cinnamon and remaining sugar in a bowl. Toss warm churros in the cinnamon sugar until coated.
- Melt chocolate chips and cream together for dipping. Serve churros warm with the chocolate sauce on the side.
Notes
- Make sure to keep the oil temperature steady to avoid soggy churros.
- You can make the dough ahead and refrigerate it for up to a day.
- For a fun twist, fill churros with jam or Nutella using a piping bag.
