How to Make Churros Con Chocolate Spanish

  1. **Prepare the Churro Batter:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup butter. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. **Add the Flour:** Remove from heat. Add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth, thick dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan. (This will take some elbow grease!)
  3. **Transfer to a Piping Bag:** Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off).
  4. **Fry the Churros:** Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Pipe 4-inch long strips or rings of dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
  5. **Golden Brown Perfection:** Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. **Sweeten and Cut:** Toss the cooked churros in 1/4 cup granulated sugar while still warm.
  7. **Make the Chocolate Sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine 4 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 cup milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth. If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of milk.
  8. **Serve and Enjoy!:** Serve the churros warm, alongside the chocolate sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
