Serves: 4-6
Preparation time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs beaten
pinch of salt

For the chocolate sauce:
1 cup milk
2 ts corn starch
4 oz dark chocolate chopped
2 TB sugar

DIRECTIONS

In a medium sauce pan bring the water to a boil with butter and salt. Add the flour and stir vigorously. The flour will come together into a soft ball. Remove from the heat and stir in the eggs until you have a thick paste.

Heat the oil in a large skillet (about 3/4" to 1" in the pan). Put the paste in a cake decorating tube with a star-like fitting. Squeeze out 4-5 lengths of the churro into the hot oil. Cook on each side 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel to cool and then place the churro in a plate of sugar, lightly coat with the sugar.

For the chocolate, add 1/2 cup of the milk to a saucepan and slowly heat it with the chocolate. In a small glass, mix the other 1/2 cup of milk with the corn starch. After the chocolate has fully melted, add the milk and cornstarch mix and the sugar. Stir and slowly heat until the mixture thickens.

Serve the churros with a small bowl of the chocolate and enjoy!
