Method
15 mins prep15 mins cook30 mins total
In a saucepan, bring water, butter and a pinch of salt to the boil.
Add flour and stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the pan into a smooth ball.
Take off the heat and cool for 5 minutes, then beat in eggs one at a time until glossy and pipeable.
Heat vegetable oil to 180°C in a deep pan.
Pipe strips of dough through a star nozzle directly into the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
Drain on kitchen paper while you fry the remaining churros in batches.
Mix caster sugar and ground cinnamon, then roll the warm churros in the coating.
For the sauce, heat double cream until just steaming, then pour over chopped dark chocolate.
Stir until smooth and glossy.
Serve churros warm with rich chocolate sauce for dipping.
Notes
Pipe and fry in small batches so the oil temperature stays steady and the churros stay crisp.
Serve immediately for the best texture, with chocolate sauce kept warm.
