Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, and salt. Place it over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to help the butter melt completely.
  2. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes to prevent the eggs from cooking when added.
  4. After cooling, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it; if it sizzles and rises, it’s ready.
  6. Prepare a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and fill it with the churro dough.
  7. Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length with scissors. Fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove churros with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. In a shallow dish, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. While warm, roll churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Set aside on a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
  11. If making homemade caramel sauce, melt sugar in a saucepan until amber, then add cream and butter, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  12. Dip one end of a churro into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  13. Drizzle caramel sauce over the chocolate-dipped churro and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
  14. Repeat with remaining churros, creating a delightful assembly line.
  15. Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  16. Once set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  17. Enjoy these treats with extra caramel or chocolate sauce for dipping!

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Experiment with different toppings or fillings for a fun twist!
