Ingredients

For the churros

200 g (7oz) plain flour
150 g (5oz) caster sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
Vegetable oil, to deep fry
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

For the chocolate sauce

100 g (3 1/2oz) plain chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp golden syrup
125 ml (4fl oz) double cream

Directions

1. Step 1
  Put flour, 60g (2½oz) of caster sugar and the baking powder into a bowl. Stir to combine. Beat in olive oil and 250ml (8fl oz) freshly boiled water from the kettle. Keep mixing until dough is combined, warm and sticky. Set aside.
2. Step 2
  One-third fill a large pan with vegetable oil and heat up to 175°C.
3. Step 3
  While the oil is heating, mix the remaining sugar and the cinnamon on a lipped plate.
4. Step 4
  When the oil is ready, fill a piping bag fitted with a 5mm (¼in) star nozzle with dough. Working in batches (about five at a time), carefully squeeze a rough 10cm (4in) length of dough into the hot oil, snipping it off at the nozzle with kitchen scissors. Cook, turning occasionally with a metal slotted spoon, until churros are golden. Lift out on to a baking sheet lined with kitchen paper, then toss in sugar mixture and stack on a serving plate. Repeat with remaining dough.
5. Step 5
  When the last batch of churros is cooking, put all the ingredients for the chocolate sauce into a pan and gently melt together over a low heat. Serve churros with the warm chocolate sauce.

Test with bread

If you don't have a suitable thermometer, test oil temperature by adding a cube of bread - the oil is ready when bread sizzles to a golden brown in about 30sec.
