EASY HOMEMADE CHURROS WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small, shallow bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the water, sugar, salt and vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil then remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour, mixing until it forms a smooth ball.
• Heat 3 to 4 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed stockpot set over medium-high heat until it reaches 375ºF. (There should be a minimum of 3 inches above the oil to prevent it from bubbling over.) Line a plate with paper towels.
• Transfer the dough to a cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic bag fitted with a large star tip (optional).
• Pipe the dough over the pot of oil to a length of about 4 inches, then using scissors or a sharp knife, cut it so it releases into the oil. (Stand back to avoid any splatters.) Pipe two to three churros into the oil at a time, frying them until they're golden brown and cooked through.
• Transfer the churros to the paper towel-lined plate to drain for 2 minutes, then while they are still hot, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat the frying and coating process with the remaining dough.
• Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl.
• Warm the heavy cream in small saucepan. (Do not let it boil.) Pour the heavy cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute then stir to combine.
• It's important to use a cloth or heavy-duty plastic pastry bag, as a regular resealable plastic bag is not thick enough and will split open if you try to pipe the churro dough through it.
• The chocolate sauce will thicken as it cools, so it's best to make it right before you're ready to serve it with the churros.
• A pastry tip isn't essential, however using the large star-shaped tip will give the churros the textured lines characteristic of classic churros.
• This churro recipe can be easily doubled.

• Heat oil for frying in a deep fryer or deep pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe 5- to 6-inch strips of dough into the hot oil using a sturdy pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Do not overcrowd the oil. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
• Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture.

CHURROS

Steps:

• Boil the kettle, then measure 300ml boiling water into a jug and add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Sift the flour and baking powder into a big mixing bowl with a big pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, then pour in the contents of the jug and very quickly beat into the flour with a wooden spoon until lump-free. Rest for 10-15 mins while you make the sauce.
• Put all the sauce ingredients into a pan and gently melt together, stirring occasionally until you have a smooth shiny sauce. Keep warm on a low heat.
• Fill a large deep saucepan one-third full of oil. Cooking with hot oil can be dangerous - before you start, read up on how to deep-fry safely to avoid accidents in the kitchen. Heat until a cube of bread browns in 45 seconds to 1 min. Cover a tray with kitchen paper and mix the caster sugar and cinnamon together.
• Fit a star nozzle to a piping bag - 1.5-2cm wide is a good size. Fill with the rested dough, then pipe 2-3 strips directly into the pan, snipping off each dough strip with a pair of kitchen scissors. Fry until golden brown and crisp. Be very careful here - if air bubbles form in the churros they can explode, especially if the oil overheats or you use old flour. Cooking with hot oil can be dangerous - before you start, read up on how to deep-fry safely to avoid accidents in the kitchen. Keep children out of the kitchen and protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and eye protection, and keeping your face away from the pan.
• Once the churros are crisp and golden brown, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on the kitchen paper-lined tray. Carry on cooking the rest of the dough in batches, sprinkling the cooked churros with some cinnamon sugar as you go. When you've cooked all the churros, toss with any remaining cinnamon sugar and serve with the chocolate sauce, for dipping.To see a video of how to prepare churros, take a look at our churros ice cream sandwich recipe.

CHURROS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oil at 320F degrees while you make the churro batter. You can use a candy thermometer to check the temperature.
• Place the water, vanilla extract, salt, and butter in a saucepan at medium- high heat.
• Once it comes to a rolling boil, stir in the flour all at once. It is very important that the water is boiling to ensure that the dough will render crispy churros.
• Mix the dough vigorously using a wooden spoon or spatula. You have to do this step very quickly.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat, wait about a minute, then add the egg. Keep mixing until the egg is completely integrated into the dough (you can use a mixer for this step). In the beginning, the dough will want to separate after adding the egg, but keep mixing until the ingredients are well combined and you have a smooth and soft dough that separates from the bottom of the pot. This step will take a few minutes.
• Place the dough in the pastry bag fitted with a star-shaped tip. Make sure there aren't any bubbles of air in the dough while you place it inside the bag.
• Pipe 6-inch strips of dough on a prepared tray and then fry them (see notes). You can also pipe the strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting them with your kitchen scissors. The oil will start bubbling when you add the raw churro, and at this point you must not touch the oil or the churro, to avoid having an explosion.
• Fry the churros for about 2 to 2.5 minutes in hot oil ( 320F) until golden brown (in total it should take 4-5 minutes to cook each churro), and then turn the churros to have an even crispiness and golden color.
• Once they are golden, remove from the heat, place on the paper towel to drain for a few seconds, and then roll in the sugar.

HOMEMADE MEXICAN CHURROS

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter then add water, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil then remove the cinnamon stick and remove the mixture from heat.
• Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough is formed, about 3-5 minutes.
• Let dough cool, about 10-15 minutes then transfer to a bowl and add the egg. Stir vigorously until egg is incorporated. The mixture is pretty hot so you have to stir vigorously so the egg doesn't actually cook and you get scrambled eggs :)
• Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a closed star tip. Set aside.
• In a shallow bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Hold piping bag above oil and pipe about four 6-inch lengths of dough. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes, flipping every so often with a spider strainer.
• Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly then transfer to cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll around until evenly coated. Repeat with remaining dough in piping bag.

CHURROS

Steps:

• Preheat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of vegetable oil in a 10 to 12 inch frying pan to 375 degrees F. In a separate dish mix the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
• In a 3 qt. sauce pan add the water, brown sugar, salt, and butter and heat to a good boil. Remove from the heat and add the flour. Stirring in the flour will take some muscle. Mix it in until well blended.
• In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and vanilla together and then add this mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until well blended and all the egg is completely mixed in.
• Fill your decorating tool with the churro recipe dough and attach the largest star tip you have.
• Test your oil by placing a small amount of dough in it. The dough should bubble up right away or that means the oil is not hot enough and a soggy churro is on the way.
• Once the oil is hot enough, squeeze some dough (with decorator) into the oil about 4 inches long. I used my finger to release the dough from the decorator. Careful not to burn yourself.
• You should be able to cook 4 or 5 churros at a time. Cook them about 1 minute and turn them over with a slotted spoon. Cook an additional minute or two. You're looking for that nice golden brown color.
• Remove the churros with the slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-covered plate to absorb excess grease.
• While still warm, roll each churro into the dish with the sugar and cinnamon until coated.
• You could serve this churro recipe with mexican hot chocolate topped with whipped cream. What a treat.

CHURROS

Steps:

• To make the churro dough: Combine 1 cup of water with the butter or margarine and the salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour. Reduce the heat to low and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute. Remove the dough from the heat and, while stirring constantly, gradually beat the eggs into the dough.
• To make the chocolate for dunking: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 cup of milk and reserve. Combine the chocolate with the remaining cup of milk in a saucepan. Stirring constantly, melt the chocolate over medium-low heat. Whisk the sugar and the dissolved cornstarch into the melted chocolate mixture. Reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking constantly, until the chocolate is thickened, about 5 minutes. (Add extra cornstarch if it doesn't start to thicken after 5 minutes.) Remove the pan from the heat and whisk until smooth then reserve in a warm place.
• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy, high-sided pot over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 360 degrees F. Mix the sugar with the cinnamon on a plate and reserve.
• Meanwhile, spoon the churro dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Squeeze a 4- inch strip of dough into the hot oil. Repeat, frying 3 or 4 strips at a time. Fry the churros, turning them once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked churros to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• When the churros are just cool enough to handle, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar (in Spain churros are simply rolled in sugar.)
• Pour the chocolate into individual bowls or cups. Serve the warm churros with the chocolate dip.

CHURRO AND PINEAPPLE "ETON MESS" RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Being by macerating your pineapple. In a bowl, toss the diced pineapple with the lime zest, sugar, salt, and tequila (if using). Allow the pineapple to macerate for 30 minutes to bring out the juices of the pineapple and set aside.
• Make your whipped cream by placing the cream in a mixing bowl and whisking vigorously. When soft peaks form, add in the sugar and vanilla then continue to whisk until a firm peak forms. Set aside.
• Next, make your churro dough. In a pot, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring up to a gentle boil then add the flour. Reduce the heat to medium low and mix well with a wooden spoon until the mixture has no lumps and the flour has cooked out, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes. Then add the vanilla extract, followed by one of the eggs. Whisk vigorously to bring the mixture together to a uniform consistency, then add the second egg and repeat. Whisk until the mixture forms a homogeneous dough, then transfer to a piping bag that is fitted with a large star tip.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon then set aside. In a heavy bottomed pot, bring the oil up to 350 degrees. Carefully pipe 8" long ropes of the churro dough into the oil, cutting with a pair of sharp kitchen shears or simply ripping by hand. Allow the churros to fry for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through for even golden brown colour. When golden and cooked, take the churros out of the oil, transfer to a paper towel lined plate, then transfer once more to the bowl with the cinnamon sugar. Toss the churro around to coat in the cinnamon sugar then set aside and repeat until all of the churros have been cooked.
• To make the eton mess, roughly chop the cooked churros. Then, take your serving bowl and place some of the whipped cream on the bottom. Top with chopped churros, followed by the macerated pineapple and it's juices. Repeat with more cream, churro, and pineapple. Top your last layer with a final dollop of cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon to finish. Enjoy!

CHURROS

Steps:

• For the coating whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish, set aside.
• Heat about 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. While oil is heating prepare batter.
