- In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt and bring to a boil. Add flour and stir vigorously until a ball forms. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Beat eggs into the dough mixture one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 180°C. Pipe strips of dough into the oil using a star-shaped nozzle. Fry until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish and roll the warm churros in the mixture.
- For the chocolate sauce, heat cream in a small saucepan until just boiling. Pour over chopped chocolate and stir until smooth.
- Serve churros with warm chocolate sauce for dipping.
Notes
For an extra touch of luxury, add a splash of brandy or a pinch of orange zest to the chocolate sauce. Churros are best enjoyed fresh, but you can keep the dough refrigerated for a couple of hours if needed.
