EASY HOMEMADE CHURROS
INGREDIENTS:
CHURROS
6 Tbsp. (85 g.) unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. plus 1 c. granulated sugar, divided
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 c. (120 g.) all-purpose flour
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 c. ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
Vegetable oil, for frying
CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE
3/4 c. dark chocolate chips
3/4 c. heavy cream
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
DIRECTIONS:
CHURROS
In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 cup water to a boil, then stir in vanilla. Remove from heat and add flour and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until thickened, about 30 seconds. Let cool 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet or large plate, mix cinnamon and remaining 1 cup sugar.
Using a handheld mixer on medium speed, add eggs one at a time, beating to blend after each addition. Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip.
Into a large pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer, pour oil to come halfway up sides. Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 375°. Holding piping bag a few inches above oil, carefully pipe churros into 6"-long ropes. Using kitchen scissors, cut off dough from piping bag.
Working in batches, fry churros, turning as needed, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes; make sure oil registers 375° between batches. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, immediately roll churros in cinnamon sugar, then transfer to a wire rack.
CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE
Place chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring cream to a simmer. Pour hot cream over chips and let sit 2 minutes. Add cinnamon and salt and whisk until combined and smooth.
Arrange churros on a platter. Serve with dipping sauce alongside.
Enjoy your MEAL ❤️

Churros, a delightful fried dough treat originating from Spain, have captivated the hearts of dessert lovers worldwide. These crispy, golden pastries are often rolled in cinnamon sugar and served warm, creating the perfect indulgence for any occasion. Making churros at home is not only fun but also allows you to customize them just the way you like. One key to achieving that perfect churro texture is in the frying process. Make sure your oil is at the right temperature (around 375°F) to achieve a crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft and fluffy. A piping bag with a star tip is essential for creating the iconic ridges on your churros, allowing them to catch even more of that delicious cinnamon sugar. Don't forget to experiment with various dipping sauces! While the classic chocolate dipping sauce is a fan favorite, try pairing your churros with caramel, dulce de leche, or even a fruity sauce for a twist. Hosting a gathering? Serve churros as a fun dessert station where guests can dip them in their choice of sauce, making it an interactive and enjoyable experience. Finally, churros are perfect for any occasion, from festive celebrations to cozy family dinners. Their popularity during holidays like Christmas and at fairs or carnivals makes them a beloved treat everyone will love. So why not gather your family or friends, roll up your sleeves, and create some unforgettable homemade churros together?
