First off, let’s gather the ingredients you’ll need:
- For the churro bites:
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- For the coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- For the chocolate dipping sauce:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Now let’s move on to making the churro bites:
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Once it begins to boil, remove it from the heat and mix in the flour until a dough forms. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before adding the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Step 2: In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). While the oil is heating, prepare a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil after frying.
Step 3: Using a piping bag (or a resealable plastic bag with the corner trimmed), pipe small bites of dough into the hot oil. Fry only a few at a time, for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Once fried, remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the paper towels.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the coating. While the churro bites are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Now that the churro bites are ready, it’s time to prepare the Chocolate Dipping Sauce:
Step 5: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Let it sit for a minute or two, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
To serve, arrange the churro bites on a plate alongside a small bowl of the warm chocolate dipping sauce. These treats are a wonderful way to indulge your sweet tooth and share with loved ones. Enjoy every bite of these Cinnamon Sugar Churro Bites, and don’t hesitate to experiment with different dipping sauces if you desire! Bon appétit!
