Step-by-step Guide: How to Make Churros with Chocolate Sauce

  1. Begin by combining 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a small saucepan. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat.

  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball.

  3. Heat 1 quart of oil for frying in a deep fryer or deep pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. While the oil is heating, pipe strips of dough into the hot oil using a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.

  5. Fry the churros until they're golden brown, which will take about 2 minutes per side.

  6. Drain the churros on paper towels, then roll them in the 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon mixture while they're still warm.

  7. For the chocolate sauce, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave or a double boiler until smooth and creamy.

  8. Serve the churros warm with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
