CHURROS WITH CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE



Churros with Chocolate Dipping Sauce image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup superfine sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup freshly boiled water
2 cups corn or vegetable oil, for deep-frying
4 ounces good-quality dark chocolate (or 1/2 cup chips)
1-ounce milk chocolate (or 2 tablespoons chips)
1 tablespoon golden syrup (recommended: Lyle's), or corn syrup
2/3 cup double cream

Steps:

  • Mix the sugar and cinnamon for the churros in a wide, shallow dish; this is for coating the cooked churros.
  • Churros: Put the flour into a bowl and stir in the baking powder, then beat in the olive oil and 1 cup freshly boiled water. Keep mixing until you have a warm sticky dough, and let rest for about 10 minutes or for as long as it takes for the corn oil to heat up.
  • Heat the oil in a smallish saucepan; it should come about a third of the way up the sides of the pan. When you think it's hot enough, toss in a cube of bread and see if it sizzles and browns. If it browns in about 30 seconds, it's hot enough; or if you're using an electric deep-fat fryer regulate the temperature, it should be at 325 degrees F. Keep a watchful eye on your hot oil pan at all times.
  • Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F.
  • When you are ready, load up a piping bag with a large star shaped nozzle (8mm) and fill it with the churro dough. Squeeze short lengths, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches, of dough into the hot oil, snipping them off with a pair of scissors as you go. Cook about 3 or 4 at a time. Once they turn a rich golden brown, fish them out with a slotted spoon or tongs onto a kitchen towel lined baking sheet. To keep the churros warm while you fry the remaining dough. Blot them with paper towels and transfer them to a parchment lined baking sheet. Put the baking sheet into the oven to keep the churros warm. Even if you let them sit out of the oven, they do need 5 to 10 minutes to rest before you eat them, to allow them to set inside.
  • Chocolate sauce: Melt all of the chocolate sauce ingredients in a heavy based saucepan over low heat. Once combined and the chocolate has melted, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside in a warm place.
  • Toss the hot churros into the sugar and cinnamon mixture and shake them about to get a good covering, just before serving. Arrange the churros on a serving platter and serve.
  • Pour the chocolate sauce into individual pots for serving (to avoid the double dipping dilemma) and dip'n'dunk away.

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups canola oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups Mexican chocolate
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3 medium eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or countertop fryer using a high heat thermometer, bring the canola oil to 375 degrees F.
  • For the chocolate sauce: Bring a double broiler to a simmer over medium-low heat. Carefully melt the chocolate. Remove from the heat. With a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula, stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth. Set aside.
  • For the churros: Set a large saucepot over medium heat. Add 1 cup water, the butter, sugar and salt. Bring to 155 degrees F, then dump in the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to incorporate and remove lumps, about 1 minute.
  • Using the spoon, add the eggs into the batter one at a time, beating after each addition, until fully incorporated. Spoon the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and carefully pipe into the heated oil, forming 6-inch strips or free form shapes. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once as the underside browns. Remove with a spider or slotted spoon and drain on paper-towel-lined sheet tray or plate.
  • To finish: Working quickly, combine the sugar and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl. Gently add the hot churros, tossing to coat. Serve with the chocolate dipping sauce.

CHURROS

Try a fresh spin on doughnuts by piping them Spanish-style and serving with a thick and indulgent homemade dark chocolate sauce.

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 1h

Yield Makes about 20 churros

Number Of Ingredients 13

50g butter, melted
½ tsp vanilla extract
250g plain flour, from a new bag (essential for absorbing the liquid)
1 tsp baking powder
about 1 litre sunflower oil
a few chunks of bread
200g dark chocolate, not too bitter, broken into chunks
100ml double cream
100ml whole milk
3 tbsp golden syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract, if you have some
100g caster sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • Boil the kettle, then measure 300ml boiling water into a jug and add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Sift the flour and baking powder into a big mixing bowl with a big pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, then pour in the contents of the jug and very quickly beat into the flour with a wooden spoon until lump-free. Rest for 10-15 mins while you make the sauce.
  • Put all the sauce ingredients into a pan and gently melt together, stirring occasionally until you have a smooth shiny sauce. Keep warm on a low heat.
  • Fill a large deep saucepan one-third full of oil. Cooking with hot oil can be dangerous - before you start, read up on how to deep-fry safely to avoid accidents in the kitchen. Heat until a cube of bread browns in 45 seconds to 1 min. Cover a tray with kitchen paper and mix the caster sugar and cinnamon together.
  • Fit a star nozzle to a piping bag - 1.5-2cm wide is a good size. Fill with the rested dough, then pipe 2-3 strips directly into the pan, snipping off each dough strip with a pair of kitchen scissors. Fry until golden brown and crisp. Be very careful here - if air bubbles form in the churros they can explode, especially if the oil overheats or you use old flour. Cooking with hot oil can be dangerous - before you start, read up on how to deep-fry safely to avoid accidents in the kitchen. Keep children out of the kitchen and protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and eye protection, and keeping your face away from the pan.
  • Once the churros are crisp and golden brown, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on the kitchen paper-lined tray. Carry on cooking the rest of the dough in batches, sprinkling the cooked churros with some cinnamon sugar as you go. When you've cooked all the churros, toss with any remaining cinnamon sugar and serve with the chocolate sauce, for dipping.To see a video of how to prepare churros, take a look at our churros ice cream sandwich recipe.

Homemade Churros with Cardamom and Chocolate image

I just had to share my favorite dessert of all time, in the hopes of keeping the Valentine's Day fire on: the Mexican churro with cinnamon-cardamom sugar and dark chocolate dip. Plus a fragrant spin with cardamom and star anise in the mix--familiar with a heady hint of exotic! Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, all smothered with a sinfully dark chocolate sauce.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup water
2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ tablespoon salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups grapeseed oil for frying, or as needed
4 tablespoons heavy cream
1 (2 ounce) bar dark chocolate (70%)
2 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon ground coffee beans
8 cardamom pods, seeded and hulls discarded
1 (2 inch) piece cinnamon stick
1 star anise pod
½ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add vegetable oil, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine. Add flour and turn off heat. Stir continuously and vigorously with a wooden spoon until dough balls up and follows your spoon around the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside to cool when dough feels firm and supple.
  • Heat 3/4- to 1 inch of grapeseed oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
  • While oil heats, combine heavy cream, dark chocolate, chocolate-hazelnut spread, butter, sugar, and ground coffee in a pan set over lowest heat. Stir often to ensure even melting, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Grease the inside of a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Insert dough and squeeze it all the way to the bottom of the bag.
  • Insert the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil heating in the pot; if it bubbles steadily, the oil is ready. Carefully squeeze dough out of the bag directly into the hot oil, cutting it off at 6-inch lengths. You can also pipe lengths of dough onto parchment paper and transfer them to the oil by hand. Do not crowd the pot.
  • Fry churros, turning every minute, for 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer fried churros to a dish lined with paper towels.
  • Place cardamom seeds, cinnamon stick, and star anise in a spice grinder and blend to a fine powder. Transfer to a wide dish and add sugar. Mix well to combine.
  • Toss warm churros into the cinnamon-cardamom sugar. Serve alongside a dipping cup of the chocolate sauce.

CHURROS WITH DIPPING CHOCOLATE



Churros With Dipping Chocolate image

This is a fairly traditional Spanish recipe for chocolate con churros. The churros are fritters and they are served with an intense chocolate sauce meant for dipping. This recipe is from Penelope Casas, who contributes recipes to many fine cooking publications. *You will need a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8 inch star tip* **Note - whenever deep frying, please be careful for oil splatters. If the heat of the oil gets too high, the oil could splatter and/or a churro could burst.**

3 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
4 ounces dark semi-sweet chocolate
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • To make the dunking chocolate: add chocolate and half the milk to a pan and heat, stirring, until the chocolate has melted.
  • Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining milk and whisk into the chocolate with the sugar; cook on low heat, whisking constantly, until the chocolate is thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add extra cornstarch dissolved in water if it doesn't start to thicken after 5 minutes.
  • Remove and whisk smooth; serve warm in cups of bowls for dunking churros.
  • To make the churros: heat the oil in a deep skillet to 375°F.

  • Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning once, about 2 minutes on each side; drain on paper towels.

Tips:

  • Use all-purpose flour for a light and crispy churro. You can also use bread flour for a chewier texture.
  • Make sure the water is boiling before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help to create a smooth dough.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten and make the churros chewy.
  • Pipe the dough into hot oil using a star-shaped tip. This will create the characteristic ridges on the churros.
  • Fry the churros until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the churros immediately with chocolate dip or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Churros are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them plain, with sugar, or with a dipping sauce, churros are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give churros a try!
