Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 2 tbsp butter, and 1 tbsp sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from heat and stir in 1 cup flour until a smooth dough forms.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until shimmering (about 350°F). Transfer dough to a piping bag with a star tip and pipe 4-inch strips directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors.

  3. Step 3

    Fry churros in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and toss with remaining 1 tbsp sugar.

  4. Step 4

    In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium until steaming. Remove from heat, add 4 oz chopped dark chocolate, and stir until smooth and glossy.

  5. Step 5

    Serve churros warm with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
