Ingredients

For the Base

1 cup water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs

For the Topping

1 cup granulated sugar for coating
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon for coating

For the Chocolate Sauce

1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped

Method

Prepare the Churros Dough

In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour and salt until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then beat in the eggs one at a time until the dough is smooth.

Fry the Churros

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
Pipe 4-6 inch long strips of dough into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Coat the Churros

In a shallow dish, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Prepare the Chocolate Sauce

In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.

Serve

Serve the churros warm with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
