Churros Recipe with Chocolate
Enjoy a pot of pure melted chocolate next to cinnamon and sugar coated churros. This churros recipe shows you how to make curly churros and the straight ones just like you find at san churros cafe.
Churros Recipe Ingredients
250millilitress or 1 cup water
1/2 cup or 110g (3.88 ounces) butter
1 cup or 160g (5.64 ounces) plain all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Cinnamon Sugar
1/4 cup or 55g (1.94 ounces) sugar
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
Chocolate pot
100g (3.53 ounces) milk chocolate
1L (0.26 gallons) oil for deep frying if making curly churros
Churros batter
Melt the butter and the water in a saucepan.
Add the flour stirring continuously. Keep stirring over the heat until the mixture thickens and clumps together into a smooth ‘ball’ (see video).
Remove form the heat and briskly stir in the eggs one at a time.
Add the vanilla and sugar and mix well.
Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a star shaped nozzle (you can make them round if you prefer).
Curly Churros
Heat the oil to 182°C (359.6 degrees Fahrenheit) (or 360°F (182.22 degrees Celsius) ). Pipe churros batter straight into the hot oil. Use your fingers or a knife to break off the batter when it is the required length. Once the churros are browned lift out and put onto a plate covered with some paper towel to drain.
Straight Churros
Pipe long strips of churros batter onto a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Spray churros lightly with cooking oil.
Bake in the oven 200C (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for 12 minutes or until crisp on the outside and soft in the middle.
As soon as your churros come out of the hot oil or oven sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Melt your chocolate in the microwave (30 seconds stir, 20 seconds stir, 10 seconds stir, repeat 10 secs stir until melted). OR melt in a bowl resting over a pan, with simmering water at the bottom. Make sure the water is not touching the bowl and stir continuously until melted. Pour the chocolate into a small serving bowl. Serve churros warm.

Hi Ann i just made the churros last night im 11 years old and they are so easy to make and my older sister divoured them all straight away and i loved that i could use the oven and not deep fry them they were delicious i love your videos keep cooking i love you
I made these the other day and they were AMAZING. My family ate all of them as soon as i coated them and dipped them in chocolate.
my favourite churros recipe EVER.
love them thanks
Hello Ann,
Your churros look amazing and it seems really easy to make them, but I was wondering how can I replace the cooking oil spray thingy that you spray on the churros before you put them in the oven; because I don’t think they are making those sprays in our country… So what do you think, should I just buy an empty spray bottle and fill it with vegetable oil or is there any other stuff that I can use instead? Loving your videos!
Hey Ann:-)
I tried making these and the outside of the churros looks good but the inside isn’t cooked, what do I do??:(plz Help:)
Hi Ann could you tell me how long, in advance of a dinner party, can I prepare and also pipe the batter
probably best if you do it just a few hours before and leave it in the fridge
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme oof this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to geet thawt
“perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance.
I must say you’ve done a excellent job with
this. Also, the blog lods super fwst for me on Safari.
Outstanding Blog!
Hey Ann,
I tried making these and the outside of the churros looks good but the inside isn’t cooked, what do I do???
Hi Ann,
about the butter, can you estimate the 1/2 cup in grams??
it would be much easier 🙂
thanks!
hi nat, 113grams
How much water would that be to people in the United States..? Btw, I love your channel, Ann.
8.45 US fluid ounces
This idea is lovely! Thank you so much, Ann!
Especially the fact that one doesn’t have to deep fry the dough makes me happy. I really love deep fried food now and then, but I don’t like having to do that myself.
One thing, though: as a Non-British European who usually doesn’t use cup measurements, I had to figure out how many grams half a cup of butter could be. Flour and water were easy: a little less than 1/4 l. Fine. But… butter?
Sooo… for my fellow metric measurement users: some conversion website said it’s about 114 g (or a tiny bit less than half a pack).
I am going to try that out and then tell you how it worked.
So it did work! Next time I had better use a thicker piping tip, they did not grow as much as I had expected, but they became nice and golden and looked beautiful.
However, the taste was a little bit too “eggy” for me. Do you think the recipe will still work if I reduce the egg content?
Hi
i love your site but Iam an arab girl and dont understand totally what you wrote
i do my best to translate it
i ask if you translate it to arabic and please make some arabic food 😀
iam sorry if i write some words wrong
thanks
Can anyone tell me how many churros does this recipe make roughly? (When cooking them in the oven) love your website Ann!
it’s a bit hard to say amy as that depends on how long you make them & the size of your piping tip. More than enough for 4 people though
Hi Ann, why is it that my churros puffed up when I deep fry them. It doubled or tripled the size. I don’t know what went wrong.
I’m obviously not an expert but I had a thought that it might be because you used self – raising flour rather than plain all – purpose flour?
I am making these for a book club that I’m in and I was wondering how many churros this recipe makes to find out if I need to make more batter so I have enough for everyone. If you could get back to me as soon as possible that would be great.
thank you.
that depends on how big you make them but more than enough for 4 people, perhaps even 5 or 6.
Today i made these churros yummy.
I love churros
What size/kind of tip did you use for pipping?
Hi Ann! I wanna give you my congratulations. I’m from Spain, where churros had their origin and I must say I’m shocked seeing you cooked the churros in the oven. Traditionally they are cooked into boiling olive oil, I never thought they could be cooked in oven, but is a healthier method to eat them. Next time that I want to take churros in my breakfast, I will put them in oven. Thank you!! I like your website a lot 🙂
Thanks Fran, I am glad you like the idea, I also like it because I can make more at once when serving lots of guests.
you put 2 eggs in the video and you wrote in the quantity section 3
Ann reardon said after the second egg to repeat that for the third egg
I don’t have a piping bag Ann what should i do? 😀
i thought it would taste likeTaco Johns ones, but it didn’t .
I don’t have a piping bag what should i do?
I don’t have a piping bag what should i do ? 😀
