Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour with milk and a pinch of salt until a smooth, thick batter forms.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 375°F. Test with a wooden skewer—tiny bubbles should immediately form.

  3. Step 3

    Fill a churrera or piping bag with batter. Pipe 6-inch lengths directly into hot oil, using scissors to cut.

  4. Step 4

    Fry until golden brown on both sides, ~2 minutes total, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

  5. Step 5

    Mix sugar and cinnamon on a shallow plate. Toss warm churros in the mixture until well coated.

  6. Step 6

    Heat chocolate with cream in a small pot over medium-low, stirring, until glossy and pourable.
