1 hr

Ingredients

75 g unsalted butter, chopped
150 g plain flour
2 medium eggs, beaten
125 g caster sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Vegetable oil, to fry

For the chocolate sauce

100 g dark chocolate, chopped
50 g milk chocolate, chopped
1 Tbsp. golden syrup
175 ml double cream

Directions

1. Step 1Gently melt butter with 300ml water in a medium pan. Once melted, turn up heat and bring to the boil. As soon as it is boiling, take pan off the heat and add flour and ½tsp fine salt in one go. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture comes away from sides of pan. Transfer to a large bowl and leave until just warm.
2. Step 2Using a handheld electric whisk, gradually beat eggs into flour mixture (have patience, it will come together with beating) – the finished batter should be thick, glossy and shiny and drop off a spoon reluctantly when tapped lightly on side of bowl. Scrape into a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 2D or similar star-shaped nozzle.
3. Step 3Line a baking tray with scrunched-up kitchen paper. Next, in a shallow bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
4. Step 4Fill a large heavy-based pan around ⅓ full with oil and heat to 190°C. Carefully squeeze a rough 10cm length of batter into the hot oil, snipping it off at the nozzle with scissors. Repeat a few more times depending on size of pan (about 5 churros at a time). Cook (moderating heat under pan to keep oil at temperature), turning occasionally, until golden. Remove churros with a slotted spoon on to the kitchen paper to absorb extra oil, then roll in cinnamon sugar. Repeat process with remaining batter.
5. Step 5Meanwhile, make chocolate sauce. Melt together all ingredients in a pan over medium heat until combined and glossy. Decant into small bowls and serve with the churros.
