Steps to Churro Heaven
- Prepare the Dough
Pour water, butter, sugar, and salt into a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it comes to a rolling boil. Remove from heat, add flour all at once, and stir vigorously until it forms a ball. - Mix in the Eggs
Add the dough to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Let it cool slightly before adding eggs, one at a time, mixing on medium speed. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until the dough is smooth and glossy. - Make Cinnamon Sugar
While the dough cools, mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside for coating the churros later. - Pipe and Fry
Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Heat oil to about 190ยฐC (375ยฐF). Pipe 3-4 inch strips of dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 90 seconds per side. Drain churros on paper towels. - Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
While churros are still warm, roll them in cinnamon sugar until thoroughly coated. - Make Chocolate Dipping Sauce
For a delightful dipping sauce, combine chocolate chips, cream, and cinnamon. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Serve with fresh churros.
These churros are perfect for a sweet snack or party treat. They truly are little bites of joy, dusted in cinnamon sugar, and paired with a rich chocolate sauce. Share them with loved ones or savor them all by yourself. Enjoy!
