Recipe
The Churros:
Combine 1/2 cup sugar with the Cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Place aside
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the water, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil then remove it from the heat. Stir in the ‘7 Star’ flour, mixing until it forms a ball.
Heat 3 to 4 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat until it reaches 375ºF. Transfer the dough to a cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic bag fitted with a large star tip.
Pipe the dough over the pot of oil to a length of about 4 inches. Use scissors or a sharp knife, cut it so it releases into the oil. Pipe two to three churros into the oil at a time, frying them until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the churros to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
The chocolate sauce:
Warm the heavy cream in small saucepan. Do not let it boil. Pour the heavy cream over the chopped chocolate and stir to combine after a minute.
Serve the churros with the warm chocolate sauce.
