Step 1
Heat oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high to 375°F (use a thermometer). Mix flour and water in a bowl to make a thick dough.
Step 2
Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4-inch strips into hot oil, using scissors to cut the dough.
Step 3
Fry churros until golden brown and crispy on both sides, ~1–2 minutes total. Lift with a slotted spoon onto paper towels.
Step 4
While still warm, toss churros in cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Step 5
Heat chocolate and cream together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth and glossy, ~2 minutes.
Step 6
Warm dulce de leche in a small bowl (30 seconds in the microwave or 1 minute on the stovetop). Serve churros with both dips alongside.
