Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water (240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g), sifted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for deep frying (enough to fill pot 2-3 inches deep)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (120 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to melt the butter.
  2. Once boiling, remove from heat and immediately stir in all the flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition using a wooden spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in vanilla extract until dough is smooth, thick, and glossy.
  5. Pour vegetable oil into a deep heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of 2-3 inches. Heat over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with the dough. Pipe 2-inch pieces directly into the hot oil, cutting the dough with scissors or a knife after each piece. Fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
  7. Fry churro bites for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove churro bites with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
  9. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a wide bowl. While still warm, toss churro bites gently in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  10. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
  11. Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate, butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  12. Arrange churro bites on a serving plate with a small bowl of chocolate sauce for dipping. Serve warm.

Notes

Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for best results. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Use fresh cinnamon for coating for best aroma. If dough thickens too much, warm briefly over low heat. Chocolate sauce can be adjusted for consistency by adding more cream or chocolate. Leftovers can be reheated in toaster oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
