Step 1
Mix flour and water in a bowl until a thick, paste-like dough forms with no lumps.
Step 2
Heat 2 inches of neutral oil in a deep skillet to 375°F, ~8 minutes. Oil should shimmer and a pinch of flour should sizzle immediately.
Step 3
Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4-inch lengths into hot oil, using scissors to cut. Fry in batches without crowding.
Step 4
Fry until golden brown and crispy, ~2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to turn once halfway through. Drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish. Toss warm churros to coat generously while still warm.
Step 6
Warm chocolate sauce and dulce de leche in separate small bowls. Serve churros with both dips on the side.
