Step 1
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~3 minutes. Test with a wooden spoon handle — it should sizzle immediately.
Step 2
Transfer flour to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Squeeze 4-inch strips directly into hot oil, cutting with scissors. Fry 4 at a time, 90 seconds per side until golden.
Step 3
Drain churros on paper towels. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl, then toss warm churros to coat.
Step 4
Chop chocolate and place in a small bowl. Heat cream until steaming, ~90 seconds, then pour over chocolate. Let sit 30 seconds.
Step 5
Whisk chocolate and cream until smooth and glossy. Serve churros hot with chocolate dip on the side.
