CHURROS WITH CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• To the flour mixture, add the oil and water and mix until just combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
• Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a 1/3-inch star tip nozzle.
• Place a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and add 2-inches of oil.
• Allow oil to heat up to 340°F.
• Pipe in 6-inch lengths of dough into the oil, snipping off with a scissor. Only cook 3 to 4 per batch.
• Cook each churro for 2 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Roll occasionally during cooking.
• Place the cooked churros on a paper-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
• To make the coating, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow plate. Roll each churro in the cinnamon-sugar until completely coated.
• Make the chocolate sauce by melting the chocolate and cream together using a double boiler. You can also microwave the chocolate and heavy cream in 30-second bursts. Make sure to use a microwave-safe bowl. Stir the sauce after each burst, and continue to microwave until melted and smooth.
• Once completely melted and smooth, stir in the vanilla extract and serve with the churros!

CINNAMON CHURROS WITH MEXICAN CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or countertop fryer using a high heat thermometer, bring the canola oil to 375 degrees F.
• For the chocolate sauce: Bring a double broiler to a simmer over medium-low heat. Carefully melt the chocolate. Remove from the heat. With a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula, stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth. Set aside.
• For the churros: Set a large saucepot over medium heat. Add 1 cup water, the butter, sugar and salt. Bring to 155 degrees F, then dump in the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to incorporate and remove lumps, about 1 minute.
• Using the spoon, add the eggs into the batter one at a time, beating after each addition, until fully incorporated. Spoon the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and carefully pipe into the heated oil, forming 6-inch strips or free form shapes. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once as the underside browns. Remove with a spider or slotted spoon and drain on paper-towel-lined sheet tray or plate.
• To finish: Working quickly, combine the sugar and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl. Gently add the hot churros, tossing to coat. Serve with the chocolate dipping sauce.
