Prep Time: 20 mins
Cooking Time: 20 mins
Total: Approximately 45 minutes mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

 

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Chocolate Ganache Dip:

  • 4 oz high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instruction:

  1. Preparation and Dough Creation:
    • In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
    • Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
    • Gradually add the flour while stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
  2. Incorporation of Eggs:
    • Allow the dough to cool slightly.
    • One at a time, add the eggs to the dough, beating vigorously after each addition until fully incorporated. The dough will become glossy and sticky.
  3. Piping and Shaping:
    • Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
    • Heat oil in a deep pot to 375°F (190°C).
    • Pipe strips of dough directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut them to your desired length. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
    • Remove churros from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
  4. Cinnamon Sugar Adornment:
    • In a shallow dish, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
    • While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Decadent Chocolate Ganache:
    • For the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just starts to simmer.
    • Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Sensory Experience:
    • Serve the freshly coated churros alongside the velvety chocolate ganache for dipping.
