1. Prepare the Dough
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil with salt and a pinch of sugar. Once boiling, remove from heat and swiftly mix in the flour using a spatula until the dough easily pulls away from the sides of the pan.
2. Incorporate the Egg
Transfer the dough to a mixer and knead it, then add the egg. If the dough is too stiff, loosen it with a splash of milk.
3. Prepare the Piping Bag
Fill a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle with the dough, kneading lightly to ensure the mixture is even. Let it rest while you heat the oil.
4. Fry the Churros
Cook the churros in a deep fryer or a deep pan at 356°F (180°C). Use kitchen scissors to cut the churros to size. Stir them occasionally with a slotted spoon to ensure they brown evenly. Once golden, remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Coat the Churros
Roll the churros in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
Prepare the Chocolate Sauce
In another saucepan, bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a boil. Place the chopped dark chocolate into a bowl. Once the milk mixture is boiling, pour it over the chocolate. Whisk until smooth and pour into a serving bowl.
Enjoy your freshly made churros dipped in warm, rich chocolate sauce!
