Churros with chocolate coffee sauce
Have you been abroad and tried this sweet delight? Well return to those holiday memories and make churros at home. These sugary fried dough treats are perfect for a dessert or snack. They are really cheap to make with only 2 main ingredients. To top it all off we've drizzled over an easy chocolate coffee sauce.
Ingredients
for the churros:
- self-raising flour (125g)
- plain flour (125g)
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- boiling water (400ml)
for the chocolate coffee sauce:
- dark chocolate (200g)
- caster sugar (80g)
- double cream (100ml)
- hot water (50ml)
- 1 tsp of instant coffee
to serve:
- a cup of caster sugar for coating churros
Recipe
preheat fryer to 170°C.
measure all of the chocolate sauce ingredients into a saucepan and heat very slowly until melted and smooth…. over a pan or in a microwave.
keep warm whilst making the churros.
sieve both flours and salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre.
whisk the olive oil and boiling water together and slowly pour into the well, beating furiously so that there are no lumps but you have a thick paste.
scoop all of the batter into a piping bag with a star nozzle and then pipe strips carefully into the hot oil to fry. Keep the nozzle close to the oil and snip off the batter with a pair of scissors when they are long enough.
squeeze enough into the pan to make a few at a time and fry them for 3 minutes until golden brown.
lift them out of the oil and drain on paper towels before rolling in the sugar whilst still hot.
serve in a cone, drizzled with the chocolate sauce.
