Description
Churros con Chocolate is a traditional Spanish dessert that features crispy fried dough served with a rich chocolate sauce for dipping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour until a dough forms. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Stir in vegetable oil and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 375°F.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 6-inch long strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove churros from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, dust with powdered sugar.
- For the chocolate sauce, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and melted.
- Serve churros warm with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a crispier churro, let the dough rest for 15 minutes before frying.
- You can also add cinnamon to the powdered sugar for a spiced twist.
- For a different dipping sauce, try caramel or a fruit sauce.
