Churros with Chocolate

These gluten-free churros are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, providing a delightful treat for dessert lovers. Paired with a rich chocolate dipping sauce, they offer a perfect blend of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free all-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Water - 120 milliliters
• Butter - 30 grams
• Granulated sugar - 20 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - for frying
• Dark chocolate (70% cocoa) - 50 grams
• Heavy cream - 50 milliliters

Steps

1. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted.
2. Remove from heat and add the gluten-free flour, mixing vigorously until a dough forms. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
3. Add the egg to the dough and mix until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
5. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Carefully pipe 10 cm long strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors.
6. Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it is steaming, then remove from heat and add the dark chocolate. Stir until smooth and well combined.
8. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar with ground cinnamon. Roll the hot churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
9. Serve the churros warm with the chocolate dipping sauce.
