Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • In a pot, boil the water with butter and salt.
  • Once it boils, add the flour and mix vigorously until it forms a uniform dough.
  • Remove from heat and continue mixing vigorously to ensure that no lumps remain and also to cool down the dough.
  • Put the dough in the bowl of an electric mixer with the kneading blade and add the eggs while kneading.
  • Knead until a uniform dough forms and refrigerate for half an hour.
  • Put the dough in a pastry bag with a star spout, form the churros on a tray covered with parchment paper.
  • In a cauldron over medium-high heat, heat plenty of vegetable oil to fry the churros. To make sure that the oil has the right temperature, put a tablespoon of dough to fry, if the dough floats and bubbles form around it, then you can start frying the churros.
  • Put the dough in a pastry bag with a star spout, form the churros on a tray covered with parchment paper.
  • Transfer the churros to the cauldron, one by one and 4 by 4, until they begin to brown. Flip so they are evenly fried.
  • Remove the churros from the cauldron and put them to drain on absorbent paper.
  • Sprinkle the churros with sugar.
  • Serve immediately with hot chocolate.
