Churros with Chocolate Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 4 oz dark chocolate
• ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 2 tbsp butter, and 1 tbsp sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from heat and stir in 1 cup flour until a smooth dough forms.

2. 2

   Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until shimmering (about 350°F). Transfer dough to a piping bag with a star tip and pipe 4-inch strips directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors.

3. 3

   Fry churros in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and toss with remaining 1 tbsp sugar.

4. 4

   In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium until steaming. Remove from heat, add 4 oz chopped dark chocolate, and stir until smooth and glossy.

5. 5

   Serve churros warm with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
