Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 375°F over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to check — it should shimmer and move slowly.

  2. Step 2

    Mix flour, water, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until you have a smooth, thick batter like cake frosting.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer batter to a piping bag with a large star tip. Pipe 4-inch lengths directly into hot oil, using scissors to cut.

  4. Step 4

    Fry churros 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown and puffed, then lift with tongs and drain on paper towels.

  5. Step 5

    Toss warm churros in a bowl with sugar and cinnamon mixed together until fully coated.

  6. Step 6

    Melt chocolate in a microwave (30-second bursts, stirring between) or small saucepan. Serve alongside for dipping.
