How to Make Churros With Spiced Sugar And Chocolate Dipping Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves (about 1 minute).
- Remove from heat. Add 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and let sit for 30 seconds.
- Whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Keep warm.
- In a large saucepan, heat 3 cups vegetable oil to 365°F (185°C) using a deep-fry thermometer.
- Line a baking sheet with several layers of paper towels.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon anise seeds. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth ball of dough forms (about 2 minutes).
- Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat for 1 minute to release steam and cool slightly.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat for 20 seconds.
- Transfer the churro dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon anise seeds.
- Pipe 6-inch churro strips into the hot oil, working in batches. Fry until golden brown, turning once, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on the prepared paper towels for 30 seconds.
- Immediately toss the warm churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve warm with the chocolate dipping sauce.
