Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Chocolate Sauce:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in flour until a smooth ball forms.
  3. Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  4. Transfer dough to a large bowl. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated and dough is smooth.
  6. In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Spoon or pipe small portions of dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and puffed, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Drain churro bites on paper towels.
  9. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Toss warm churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  10. For the chocolate sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Stir in butter until melted and combined.
  11. Serve churro bites warm with chocolate sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure oil temperature is maintained for even cooking.
  • For piping the dough, a star-shaped pastry tip can create a classic churro texture.
