Churros with Chocolate Sauce

01Method

1. 1

   Combine the milk, butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the flour all at once, remove from the heat, and stir vigorously until the dough comes together into a smooth ball. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for 5 minutes. Using a hand mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.

2. 2

   Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Heat enough oil in a saucepan and pipe the dough directly into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll the churros in cinnamon sugar to coat.

3. 3

   Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan.

4. 4

   Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate, let it sit for a minute, then stir until you have a smooth, glossy sauce.
