This churro recipe makes the best churros ever! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Exactly how a churro should be, and let's not forget they are the easiest to make.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons neutral oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar to coat
• about 2 cups neutral oil, for frying

Chocolate Sauce

• 1/3 cup chocolate bar or chips*
• 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Churros

1. Add water and 1 1/2 teaspoon oil to a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
2. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Pour in oil and water mixture, vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
3. Let the dough cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer to either a churro maker or a piping bag with a 1in star tip.
4. Heat 2" of oil over medium-high in a deep side skillet.
5. Once the oil reaches 375 degrees F, pipe 6 in ropes into the oil, snipping the ends with kitchen shears (Only cook 4 to 5 churros at a time), and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Transfer the churros to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Roll in sugar, then serve immediately with chocolate sauce, Spanish-style Hot Chocolate, or dulce de leche.
7. ENJOY!

Chocolate Sauce

1. Add chocolate and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 seconds intervals for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring in between. Once smooth transfer to a small serving bowl.

Notes:

• I enjoy using a combination of milk and dark chocolate bars for the chocolate sauce. In my opinion, chocolate bars provide a much better taste, but you could also use semi-sweet chocolate chips.
