Ingredients

For the Churros:

Oil, for deep frying

1 cup flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 cup water boiled with 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar

1 cup finely powdered sugar

2 Tbsp cinnamon powder

For The Chocolate Sauce:

4-5 Tbsp milk

1 Tbsp butter

25-30 chocolate cubes (I bought bars of readily available milk chocolate)

Method

For the Churros:

In a wok/kadhai heat the oil.

In a plate sift flour with baking powder.

Knead the dough with warm salt-sugar water. Add water gradually and stop when the dough is soft yet stiff.

In a piping bag stuff the dough and squeeze out 7-10 cm long pieces cutting with scissors. Deep fry till golden.

Drain out on a piece of absorbent paper. Immediately roll in sugar and cinnamon. Dust off extra powder.

Serve. You can serve churros with some chocolate sauce or maple syrup.

For The Chocolate Sauce:

Melt the chocolate with the butter in the microwave (20-30 seconds on Medium) or a double boiler (bottom pan with water; chocolate and butter on the upper pan).

Once melted, add milk to make the sauce. Mix them together with a spoon.
