Churros con Chocolate – Recipe for a Spain’s favorite dessert

Made from a basic dough of flour, water, and salt, Churros con Chocolate are a well-known fried pastry that have its origins in Spain. The dough is then piped through a star-shaped nozzle and deep-fried until brown and crispy. Traditionally, before being served, they are dipped in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. The size and form of churros can vary, from long and straight to curled or looped.

Churros are often enjoyed as a breakfast or snack food, particularly in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries. They are commonly served with hot chocolate for dipping, creating a deliciously indulgent treat.

The sweet and crispy flavor of churros is wonderfully complemented by the rich, slightly bitter taste of chocolate. The combination offers a delightful contrast of flavors when dipped into heated chocolate, which elevates the whole experience.

In many areas where churros are popular, especially in Spain and other Spanish-speaking nations, serving them with chocolate has become a custom. This customary combination has been passed down through the ages and is now engrained in the society.

Making churros at home is a fun and rewarding process. Here’s a basic recipe to guide you through making delicious churros:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• Oil for frying
• 1/4 cup sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Let the dough cool for a few minutes.
3. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip nozzle. Alternatively, you can use a churro maker or a plastic zip-top bag with a corner cut off.
4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
5. Pipe strips of dough directly into the hot oil, using scissors or a knife to cut them to your desired length. Fry the churros in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Remove the fried churros from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
7. In a shallow dish, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon for coating the churros.
8. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are evenly coated.
9. Serve the churros warm with your favorite chocolate sauce.
10. Enjoy your homemade churros as a delicious treat!
