Ingredients
  

For the Churros:
  • 250 ml Water
  • 50 g Unsalted Butter
  • ¼ Tsp Salt
  • ½ Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 125 g Plain Flour
  • 1 & ½ Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Egg
For the Cinnamon Sugar Mix:
  • 1 Tsp Cinnamon Powder
  • 50 g Sugar
For the Chocolate Dip:
  • 2 Tbsp Chocolate Spread

Method
 

  1. Boil cold water in a pan at medium heat
  2. Add in the unsalted butter, salt and vanilla essence and mix until the butter has fully disolved
  3. Add in the plain flour and sugar and mix until mixture is clumped together
  4. Turn off the heat and leave the mixture to cool for 2-3 minutes
  5. Add in the egg and mix
  6. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag
  7. Pipe the mixture onto a tray lined with baking paper, the Churros can be piped to your desired length
  8. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon to create the sugar coating of the Churros
  9. Heat oil in a pan to 180°C (if you are unable to measure the temperature of your oil then put it to low-medium heat)
  10. Fry the Churros in the oil until they are golden brown (Tip: place one of the Churros as a test into the oil to ensure that the oil isn’t too hot – it should take around 3-4 minutes for it to turn golden brown)
  11. Remove the Churros from the oil and place onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to get rid of any excess oil
  12. Coat the Churros inside the cinnamon sugar mix
  13. Melt 2 Tbsps of your favourite Chocolate spread in the microwave - and enjoy!
