• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
• Oil for frying

Spanish Hot Chocolate:

• 100 g dark chocolate (60% cocoa or more)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch (maicena)
• 1–2 tbsp sugar (to taste)
• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla (optional)

🍳 Method

Churros:
1. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, oil, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
2. Remove from heat, add flour all at once, and mix vigorously until a thick, soft dough forms.
3. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.

Frying:
4. Heat oil to medium temperature (~175–180°C / 350°F).
5. Pipe churros directly into the oil, cutting with scissors, and fry until golden and crisp.
6. Drain on paper towels.

Hot Chocolate:
7. Heat milk with cinnamon in a saucepan.
8. Add chopped chocolate and stir until melted.
9. Mix in cornstarch slurry to thicken, then sweeten with sugar to taste.

Serving:
10. Break a churro to enjoy the airy texture, then dip into the hot chocolate for a perfect bite.

💡 Tips & Tricks
• Keep oil at medium heat to cook churros evenly.
• Dough should be thick but pipeable — adjust with a splash of water if needed.
• Serve churros fresh and warm for the best texture.
• Thick hot chocolate works perfectly for dipping — don’t make it too runny.
