Churros With Dipping Chocolate
- Hot Choclate Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup good quality semisweet chocolate morsel
- 1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon good-quality cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- Churros
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mild olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup unbleached flour
- mild olive oil (for frying)
- granulated sugar, for dusting
- Hot Chocolate Dipping Sauce:
- Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan over med-high heat.
- Add the semisweet and bittersweet chocolate, cocoa and milk and lower the heat to med-low.
- Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is thick and smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Reserve.
- Churros:
- Bring the water, oil and salt to a boil in a saucepan over med-high heat.
- Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth ball forms.
- Lower the heat and cook, flattening and turning the dough for 2 minutes.
- Cool and transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8 inch star tip (the fluted edge is essential).
- Pour the oil to a depth of at least 1 inch in a skillet (or use a deep fryer) and heat on high until the oil quickly browns a cube of test bread.
- Squeeze 5 inch lengths of dough through the pastry tube into the oil - as many as will comfortably fit.
- Reduce the heat to med-high and fry until the churros puff and have barely begun to turn golden, about 20 seconds. *Do not overcook - the churros should be crunchy outside and soft within.*.
- Drain on paper towels. (If needed, you can keep them warm briefly in a 200 degee F. oven until ready to serve.).
- Dredge the churros in the sugar and arrange 4 on each plate.
- To serve, reheat the chocolate over very low heat and divide into 6 espresso or small cups placed off center on 6 dessert plates.
- Dip away!
