Ingredients For the Churros:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Chocolate Dip:

  • 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth and thick dough.
  3. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle (if available).
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or a fryer to about 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully pipe strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors or a knife to the desired length (around 4-6 inches).
  6. Fry the churros until they turn golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch.
  7. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried churros to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil.

For the Chocolate Dip:

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers. Remove the pan from the heat.
  2. Add the chopped dark chocolate, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
  3. Pour the chocolate dip into a serving bowl or individual dipping cups.
