Churros Con Chocolate

List of Ingredients




Churros Con Chocolate

Recipe By :Sharron Loughran

***CHURROS***

Vegetable or Olive Oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon -- (optional)


*** CHOCOLATE DIP FOR CHURRO DUNKING***

4 ounces dark chocolate -- chopped
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 tablespoons sugar

The Churros: Here's the ultimate recipe to make your own
churros at home, just like they were at the churreria
stands.
Of course, the difference here is price.

Here you can make a whole batch for what the is cost for a
few. Once you make the churros, you can make the authentic
chocolate dip to dunk them in.

Prepare to fry the churros by heating oil in a pan (1 to
1 & 1/2 inches) to 360 degrees F.

To make churro dough, heat water, margarine and salt to
a rolling boil in 3-quart saucepan; stir in flour.

Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball,
about 1 minute; remove from heat.

Beat eggs all at once; continue beating until smooth and
then add to saucepan while stirring mixture.

Spoon mixture into cake decorators' tube with large
star tip (like the kind use to decorate cakes).

Squeeze 4-inch strips of dough into hot oil.

Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning
once, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

(Mix Sugar and the optional cinnamon); roll churros in
sugar or dump the sugar on the pile of churros, like the
pros.

That churro taste will take you right back to your favorite
summer days walking the paseos of Spain.

Note: REAL churros in Spain are made without cinnamon
mixed with the sugar, but the cinnamon adds an extra nice
flavor.

In Mexico they are sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar.

Chocolate for Churro Dunking:

Place the chocolate and half the milk in a pan and heat,
stirring, until the chocolate has melted.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining milk and whisk
into the chocolate with the sugar.

Cook on low heat, whisking constantly, until the chocolate
is thickened, about five minutes. Add extra cornstarch if
it doesn't start to thicken after 5 minutes.

Remove and whisk smooth.

Pour and server in cups or bowls for dunking churros.

Do not pour over the churros, but use the mix for dunking
churros after every bite. Serve warm.
