Sorted

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

Churros

125 g self-raising flour
125 g plain flour
1 pinch salt
2 tbsp olive oil
400 ml boiling water

200 g dark chocolate
80 g caster sugar
100 ml double cream
50 ml hot water
1 tsp instant coffee
1 mug caster sugar for coating churros

Step 1

Preheat Fryer

Preheat fryer to 170°C.

Step 2

Prepare Chocolate Sauce

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.

Step 3

Add Flours To Bowl

Sieve both flours and salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre.

Step 4

Make Batter

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.

Step 5

Put Batter In Piping Bag

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.
