Churros are a delightful treat that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This simple recipe uses common ingredients and can be prepared quickly at home. Enjoy these churros with a decadent dark chocolate and light sour cream dip for a truly indulgent experience.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with 1 cup water and bring to a boil.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy.
1. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
3. Pipe strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting them off with scissors or a knife to the desired length (about 4-6 inches).
4. Fry churros until golden brown, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch.
5. Remove the churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
1. In a shallow dish, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
2. Roll the warm churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well-coated.
1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and light sour cream.
2. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
3. Add the brown sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
1. Arrange the churros on a serving plate.
2. Pour the chocolate dipping sauce into a small bowl.
3. Serve the churros warm with the chocolate dipping sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Make sure to melt the butter completely for a smooth dough.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip for that classic churro shape.
- Fry the churros in small batches to ensure they cook evenly.
- Coat the churros in sugar and cinnamon while they are still hot so the mix sticks better.
- Serve the churros immediately for the best texture and taste.
With minimal preparation and a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy delicious homemade churros at any time. These churros, paired with a rich chocolate sauce and light sour cream dip, are sure to be a hit with both family and friends. Happy cooking!
