Churros con Chocolate
Crispy, star-shaped fried dough served with an incredibly thick and rich dark hot chocolate for dipping.
Ingredients
- For Churros: 1 cup water, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, sugar for dusting, oil for frying
- For Chocolate: 2 cups whole milk, 200g high-quality dark chocolate (chopped), 1 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp water, 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
1
Make the chocolate: Heat the milk and sugar in a saucepan. Add the chopped chocolate and whisk until melted. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch and simmer until the chocolate is very thick and glossy. Keep warm.
2
Make the churro dough: In a saucepan, bring the water, oil, and salt to a boil. Remove from heat, add the flour all at once, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until it forms a smooth, sticky ball of dough.
3
Transfer the slightly cooled dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
4
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep frying pan to 190°C (375°F). Carefully pipe 6-inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting the ends with scissors.
5
Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Drain on paper towels, roll in sugar, and serve immediately alongside the thick hot chocolate for dipping.
