Easy Homemade Churros with Chocolate Sauce Recipe

## How to Make Churros

### Step 1: Make the dough
In a medium saucepan, bring water, sugar, salt, and oil to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the flour until a dough forms. It’ll look sticky and thick—perfect.

### Step 2: Pipe the churros
Let the dough cool slightly, then spoon it into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. If you don’t have one, a zip-top bag with the corner snipped will do (just won’t have the classic ridges).

### Step 3: Fry to golden perfection
Heat oil in a deep pan to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully pipe strips of dough into the oil, cutting them off with scissors. Fry until golden brown—about 2–3 minutes per side.

### Step 4: Coat in cinnamon sugar
While still warm, roll the churros in your cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

## Make the Chocolate Sauce

Heat the cream in a small saucepan (don’t boil it), then pour over the chopped chocolate and butter. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. Add vanilla if you like. Done!

## Tips for Success

– Test the oil temperature with a small bit of dough—if it sizzles and floats, it’s ready.
– Don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for best results.
– Serve churros *fresh* for that crispy-outside, soft-inside magic.
