Equipment

  • Mixer

Ingredients

  • 50 g Fresh milk
  • 125 g Water
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar Caster
  • 55 g Butter Unsalted
  • 95 g Flour All purpose flour
  • 3 Eggs

Cinnamon sugar

  • 35 g Sugar White caster sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon powder

Chocolate dipping sauce

  • 80 g Dark cooking chocolate
  • 120 g Thickened cream cooking cream, whipping cream

Instructions

Churros batter

  • In a medium-size saucepan add water, milk, sugar, salt and butter and let it come to a boil
  • When the mixture is boiling, add the flour and mix well until it comes together as a dough, keep it on low fire until it is well incorporated. you will know the batter is ready once a thin layer of batter is formed on the bottom of the saucepan
  • Place the mixture while it is hot into a cake mixture with the palette attachment (you can also use a handheld mixer. let it mix at a low speed until the batter is cooled down
  • Once the batter is cooled down add the eggs one by one until well incorporated and the mixture looks like a thick cake batter ( This might take about 3-5 minutes) make sure the batter is sticky and the correct consistency ( check video)
    It will not look like the batter is coming together at first but the more you mix it will come to the correct consistency
  • Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with an 8mm star nozzel
  • Add enough oil to a wide large saucepan and heat the oil to 180C
  • Pipe 12cm churros into the hot oil directly and use a metal scissor to snip it ( if the mix is too sticky, dip the tip of the metal scissor into the hot oil to make it easier to cut)
    Turn the churros occasionally, so it cooks evenly on all sides. Once they are golden brown in colour, take them off the fire and let them drain on a paper towel

Cinnamon sugar coating

  • Add sugar and cinnamon powder into a small tray and mix well
  • Once the churros come out of the hot oil after draining add them directly to the cinnamon coating, this will ensure the sugar sticks to the churros

Chocolate sauce

  • Microwave the cream for 20-30 seconds and while hot, add in the chocolate and mix with a rubber spatula, until well incorporated and turns to a thick chocolate sauce
  • Enjoy the churros while they are hot and crispy with the chocolate dipping sauce
