Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, combine the water (or milk), butter and salt and bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat then add the flour and whisk to combine using a wooden spoon.
  • Cook the dough until it pulls away from the sides of the pan about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Beat eggs one at a time into mixture, stirring until smooth after each addition.
  • Put the batter in a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
  • Set aside while you make the sauce and prepare the cinnamon sugar.
  • Combine the chocolate, heavy cream, butter in a heavy-bottomed pan.
  • Heat over medium low fire stirring occasionally until the chocolate is melted.
  • Make sure all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Transfer chocolate sauce to a small bowl.

FOR CINNAMON SUGAR:

  • Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  • In a large saucepan heat the oil to 325 degrees F.
  • Pipe the dough into the hot oil in sticks or desired shapes.
  • Fry the dough until it is brown and crispy on all sides, 60 to 90 seconds total, turning as they brown.
  • Fry in batches.
  • Remove the churros from the oil, blot on paper towels for a second and then toss in the cinnamon sugar.
  • Be sure to do this while the churros are still hot.
  • Serve immediately, while churros and melted chocolate are warm.
