Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • mixing spoon
  • piping bag with star tip
  • deep skillet or pot
  • slotted spoon
  • paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (for sauce)
  • pinch of kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the flour until a smooth dough forms. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to about 350°F (175°C).
  • Transfer dough to a piping bag with a star tip. Pipe 4–6 inch lengths into hot oil and fry until golden, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and roll warm churros until evenly coated.
  • Heat heavy cream until just simmering, then stir in chocolate chips, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Serve warm with churros.

Notes

For best results, keep the oil temperature steady at 350°F while frying. Churros are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness. The chocolate sauce can be customized with milk or plant-based chocolate.
