Ingredients

The Churros:

1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons water
a pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter , cut into pieces
1/2 cup +1 tablespoon (75g) all-purpose flour,sifted
2 eggs
2 cups or more oil , for frying
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

The chocolate sauce:

1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup milk
3.5 oz. (100g) dark chocolate
2 tablespoons sugar

In a small saucepan, bring to a boil the water, salt, sugar, and butter. Add the sifted flour and stir constantly until the dough forms and it unsticks from the sides of the saucepan. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for a minute. Not too much, though, it should still be warm.

While stirring, beat the eggs into the dough. Transfer to a piping bag with a star nozzle. The wider the better.

In a deep pot or a frying pan, heat the oil until a cooking thermometer shows 360°F (180°C). Pipe strips of the dough into the oil cutting ends with a knife. Do a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
