Churros con Chocolate
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup flour
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups peanut or veggie oil, for frying
- 9 ounces Mexican chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- For the dough: In a small saucepan, combine the milk, butter and salt and bring to a medium heat.
- When the butter has melted, add the flour and whisk to combine.
- Switch over to a wooden spoon and cook the dough until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and it has a slightly sweaty sheen on it, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using an electric mixer beat in the eggs 1 at a time.
- Do not add the next egg until the last one is completely combined.
- Place the batter in a pastry bag outfitted with a large star tip.
- Reserve.
- To make the chocolate sauce: Place 1-inch of water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- In a heatproof mixing bowl, combine the chocolate, heavy cream, butter and corn syrup.
- Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and all the ingredients are well combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Reserve.
- For the cinnamon sugar: In a bag or large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon
- In a large saucepan heat the oil to 325 degrees F.
- Pipe the dough into the hot oil in sticks or desired shapes (I kinda like to make mine a little curly).
- This might be a little tricky at first, but you'll get the hang of it.
- Fry the dough until it is brown and crispy on all sides, 60 to 90 seconds total, turning frequently.
- Fry in batches.
- Remove the churros from the oil, blot on paper towels for a second and then toss in the cinnamon sugar.
- Be sure to do this while the churros are still hot.
- Serve immediately, while churros and melted chocolate are warm.
