Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine water, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil, then add flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a smooth ball, about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Transfer dough to a stand mixer or bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time on medium speed, then add vanilla, beating after each addition until the dough is smooth, glossy, and slowly falls in thick ribbons from a spoon.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a deep skillet to 375°F. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 6-inch lengths of dough into the hot oil, cutting with scissors, and fry in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain churros on paper towels for 1 minute, then roll immediately in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while still hot.

  5. 5

    Make the chocolate sauce: bring cream to a simmer, pour over chopped chocolate, let sit 1 minute, then whisk with butter until glossy and smooth. Serve churros immediately alongside the warm chocolate dipping sauce.
