Ingredients

DOUGH

  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

FRYING & COATING

  • oil - for frying
  • ½ cup sugar (fine or powdered)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

CHOCOLATE DIP

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, combine milk, water, sugar, salt and butter together then bring to boil over medium heat. Remove from heat once it starts to boil.
  • Stir in the flour immediately to the liquid mixture and stir gently until a loose dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  • Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool down for 3-5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate dip by placing the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl, heat for 10 seconds on high and stir until chocolate is melted. Pulse for another 5-10 seconds if needed.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat it into the dough with a whisk, or use an electric mixer.
  • Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large 4 or 5 star tip.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan (about 4 inch deep) over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, squeeze out about 5-6 inch of dough and using a pair of scissors, cut it on the other end dropping it to the oil. Fry 5-6 pieces at a time
  • Fry 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from oil and place them on a plate covered with paper towels to remove excess oil. Roll or sprinkle the churros with the sugar-cinnamon mix.
  • Serve while warm with the chocolate dip.
