Churros

Ingredients

• 220 ml water
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 40 g butter
• 140 g plain white flour
• 2 x eggs

Method

1. Carefully pipe the dough into the preheated oil, and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden. Place them on kitchen paper to drain, then toss them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Serve with warm chocolate sauce!
2. Stir in the eggs one by one until the dough becomes a little looser, but thick enough to hold its shape.
3. Put the dough in a piping bag (preferably fitted with a rounded star tip if you have one).
4. Fill a pan about halfway up with neutral oil, and heat it to about 180 C. While the oil is heating up, you can mix 50 g sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon on a plate and prepare a tray with some kitchen paper.
5. Add water, butter, sugar and salt to a large saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Then add the flour little by little while stirring until the dough comes together. Stir for a couple of minutes and transfer the dough to a bowl.
