Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water (240 ml)
  • 2 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (neutral-flavored oil)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g), sifted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g) for coating
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for coating
  • ½ cup heavy cream (120 ml)
  • 4 ounces bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (115 g)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon for chocolate sauce
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 2 ½ tablespoons sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally until it just begins to boil.
  2. Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides, about 1-2 minutes of vigorous stirring.
  3. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  4. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth and slightly glossy. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with the dough. Pipe 1 ½-inch long pieces directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors or a knife. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Fry the bites for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  8. While warm, toss the bites in a bowl with ½ cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon until evenly coated.
  9. In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup heavy cream just until simmering. Remove from heat and add 4 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate, 1 tablespoon butter, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  10. Serve churro bites warm with the chocolate sauce for dipping.

Notes

Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for best results. Use a thermometer if possible. If dough is too stiff to pipe, add water a teaspoon at a time. Fry in small batches to avoid soggy bites. Drain on wire rack instead of paper towels to keep crispiness. Chocolate sauce can be reheated gently. Baking option available but less crispy.
