Churros chocolate ready.
Same like this, churros need effort. It is simple and easy. Let’s gather ingredients.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
1 cup water
2 tbsp butter (substitute: margarine or coconut oil)
2 tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
1 egg (substitute: 2 tbsp milk for an eggless version)
For Frying:
Oil for deep frying (vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil)
For Coating:
½ cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder
For Dipping Sauce (Optional):
½ cup melted chocolate or caramel sauce
Before We Start
Use a piping bag – A star-shaped nozzle gives churros their signature ridges.
Keep oil at the right temperature – Maintain 175°C (350°F) for even frying.
Let the dough cool before adding eggs – This prevents the eggs from cooking too soon.
Instructions
Make the Dough
Step 1: Take a saucepan over medium flame, add 1 cup of water, and heat it. Add butter, sugar, and salt. Give it time until it boils.
Step 2: Lower the heat and add 1 cup of flour all at once. Stir quickly until the dough forms and pulls away from the sides. Make sure it comes to the center.
Step 3: Turn off the flame, place the saucepan aside, and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Add vanilla and egg (or instead, you can add milk for an eggless version—some people do not prefer the smell of eggs). Stir until smooth consistency.
Shape It & Fry
Step 5: Take a piping bag, fix a star nozzle into it, and transfer the dough mixture into it.
Step 6: Take a pan and heat oil over low to medium heat. Check the temperature (175°C / 350°F).
Step 7: Pipe the mixture into 4-6 inch strips directly into the heated oil pan. While piping, cut the dough with scissors after every 4-6 inches (press the piping bag by hand and let the dough flow into the pan, then cut it at the right length).
Step 8: Fry until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes on each side).
Step 9: Place churros on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Coat & Done
Step 10: Take a bowl and add cinnamon powder.
Step 11: Coat the churros in the mixture and set them onto plates.
Swirl melted chocolate or caramel sauce over them. You can also have them with cream.
Serve
Sweet fried churros are also snacks—let’s serve them!
Place churros on a serving platter and arrange them neatly.
Add small dipping bowls filled with chocolate, caramel, or fruit sauces—they’re a great option too.
Sprinkle sugar syrup over churros for an elegant, cozy look.

Serve and accept the appreciation!
