Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups water
- 2 cups neutral oil, for frying
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 6 oz chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- 1
Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 375°F over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to check — it should shimmer and move slowly.
- 2
Mix flour, water, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until you have a smooth, thick batter like cake frosting.
- 3
Transfer batter to a piping bag with a large star tip. Pipe 4-inch lengths directly into hot oil, using scissors to cut.
- 4
Fry churros 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown and puffed, then lift with tongs and drain on paper towels.
- 5
Toss warm churros in a bowl with sugar and cinnamon mixed together until fully coated.
- 6
Melt chocolate in a microwave (30-second bursts, stirring between) or small saucepan. Serve alongside for dipping.
