Fried dough, sugar and cinnamon - an unbeatable combination. This Spanish snack makes one impressive dessert!
Ingredients
- 250ml water
- 60g unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla paste
- 115g caster sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 140g flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 180g dark chocolate
- 150ml cream
- Oil for frying
Directions
Start by adding the water, butter, vanilla, salt and 15g of sugar to a small pot and place on med-high heat.
- When the water just starts to boil, add the flour and whisk. Cook this for 4-5 minutes on low, whisking the whole time.
- Turn the heat off and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the egg and beat it in well until smooth. Place into a piping bag (note the plastic ones are not normally strong enough, so use at your own risk).
- Add the rest of the sugar and the cinnamon to a shallow bowl and mix, set aside for the churros to go into after frying.
- For the chocolate sauce, simply add the chocolate and cream to a bowl over a pot of boiling water and whisk until smooth.
- To fry the doughnuts, heat the oil to 160°c and carefully pipe 10-12cm long pieces of batter into the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Removed from the oil and once drained, dust in the cinnamon sugar.
- Serve with the sauce and enjoy!
