Churros With Hot Chocolate Food

CHURROS WITH HOT CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Stir together cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl; set aside. Bring milk, butter, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, and cook, stirring, until mixture forms a ball and pulls away from sides of pan, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat, and let cool 3 minutes. Add eggs, and stir until batter is smooth. Spoon mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large open-star tip (such as an Ateco #828).
• Heat 4 to 5 inches oil in a large Dutch oven until it registers 330 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Holding pastry bag a few inches above the oil, squeeze out batter, snipping off 4-inch lengths with a knife or kitchen shears. Fry 6 to 8 churros at a time, turning once, until deep golden brown all over, about 5 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• Roll churros in cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately with hot chocolate.

CHURROS CON CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• For the dough: In a small saucepan, combine the milk, butter and salt and bring to a medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the flour and whisk to combine. Switch over to a wooden spoon and cook the dough until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and it has a slightly sweaty sheen on it, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Using an electric mixer beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Do not add the next egg until the last one is completely combined.
• Place the batter in a pastry bag outfitted with a large star tip. Reserve.
• To make the chocolate sauce: Place 1-inch of water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
• In a heatproof mixing bowl, combine the chocolate, heavy cream, butter and corn syrup. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and all the ingredients are well combined.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and remove the saucepan from the heat. Reserve.
• For the cinnamon sugar: In a bag or large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon
• In a large saucepan heat the oil to 325 degrees F.
• Pipe the dough into the hot oil in sticks or desired shapes (I kinda like to make mine a little curly). This might be a little tricky at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Fry the dough until it is brown and crispy on all sides, 60 to 90 seconds total, turning frequently. Fry in batches.
• Remove the churros from the oil, blot on paper towels for a second and then toss in the cinnamon sugar. Be sure to do this while the churros are still hot. Serve immediately, while churros and melted chocolate are warm.

XOCO CHURROS WITH MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Make the cinnamon sugar:
• In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. DO AHEAD: The cinnamon sugar can be made ahead and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 1 month.
• Make the hot chocolate:
• In a heavy 2-quart saucepan over moderate heat, combine the milk or water and the chocolate. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is almost completely dissolved (there will still be small pieces of chocolate) and the mixture is steaming. Transfer to a blender or use a handheld immersion blender and process until the mixture is foamy and fully emulsified, about 30 seconds (use caution when blending hot liquids). Return the hot chocolate to the saucepan. When ready to serve, place over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm.
• Make the churro dough:
• In a medium pot over moderate heat, whisk together the butter, sugar, salt, and 1 1/4 cups water. Bring to a simmer, stirring to melt the butter. Remove the pot from the heat and add the flour, stirring vigorously to fully incorporate it into the liquid. Return the pot to moderate heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until the dough is smooth and sticky, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and remove the pot from the burner; cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Following the 15-minute resting period, add the eggs, 1 at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon until completely incorporated after each addition. Spoon the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip.
• Fry the churros:
• Line a large baking sheet with several layers of paper towels and place the cinnamon sugar in a small shallow bowl.
• In a heavy large pot, heat 3 inches of oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F. Working in batches (about 6 churros per batch), hold the pastry bag just above the surface of the hot oil and carefully and gently pipe 4-inch ribbons of dough directly into the oil, using a paring knife to cut the batter at the end of the star tip if necessary. Fry the churros, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked in the center, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer as done to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet and return the oil to 375°F between batches. Toss the churros in cinnamon sugar and serve warm with the Mexican hot chocolate.

CHURROS WITH SPICED HOT CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• For cinnamon sugar:
• Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl to blend.
• For churro batter:
• Bring first 4 ingredients to boil in heavy medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves and butter melts. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add flour; stir vigorously with wooden spoon until shiny dough mass forms, about 1 minute. Transfer to large bowl; cool 5 minutes. Using electric mixer, beat in eggs, 1 at a time; continue beating until smooth, shiny, sticky paste forms. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat to 350°F. Working in batches, spoon batter into pastry bag fitted with large star tip. Pipe batter into hot oil in 3 1/2- to 4-inch-long ribbons (use knife if necessary to cut batter at end of star tip) and allow batter to slide into oil. Fry churros until brown and cooked through in center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels. Cool 5 minutes, then toss in cinnamon sugar to coat. Serve warm with Spiced Hot Chocolate.

OUTRAGOUSLY THICK SPANISH HOT CHOCOLATE WITH CHURROS

Steps:

• Pour 5 1/2 cups milk into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
• In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Add the remaining 1/2 cup milk to form a smooth paste.
• Heat the milk over medium heat and add cocoa mixture just before the milk boils.
• Allow to boil, stirring constantly for one minute or until slightly thickened.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and 8 ounces of the chocolate. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and combined. Add more chocolate, little by little, to taste.
• Set aside and keep warm.
• Start the churros.
• Combine the water, olive oil, and salt in a medium heavy-bottomed non-aluminum saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Remove from heat and add all the flour. Stir briskly with a wooden spoon until the dough gathers in a clump around the spoon and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
• Place the pan over medium heat and stir the batter briskly for 30-60 seconds more to dry out any excess moisture and eliminate raw flour taste.
• Turn the dough out onto an aluminum foil-lined work area.
• Pat the dough into an 8 inch circle and let cool for 5 minutes. Return the dough to the pan.
• One at a time, beat the eggs into the dough, stirring briskly after each addition just until the egg is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
• The dough should end up smooth, slightly sticky, and malleable, but firm enough to form soft peaks and hold its shape when piped or scooped.
• Pour 3 inches of oil into a heavy pan or deep fryer. Heat the oil to 365°F.
• Meanwhile, stir the sugar and cinnamon together in a large, shallow dish.
• Put a large, star-shaped pastry tip into a pastry bag and pipe strips or coils of dough into the hot oil.
• Fry one large spiral or 4 strips at a time.
• Fry until golden brown, using tongs to turn the pastries about 2 minutes per side.
• Use a wire-mesh skimmer to transfer the hot churros to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• While still warm, roll the churros in the cinnamon-sugar.
• Place churros on a baking sheet and keep warm at 200°F in an oven.
• Betwen each batch of churros, allow the oil to return to 365°F
• When all the churros are finished, gently rewarm hot chocolate if necessary.
• Pour the hot chocolate into six 1-cup bowls or cups and top each with a dollop of whipped cream. Serve with churros for dipping.
