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.

And also, can the batter be overmixed because my batter looks more like a pancake batter rather than a thick ball of dough..
Hi Ann, I was wondering if I don’t want to eat all of the churros and cook them all at once is it possible to store the mixture in the fridge and take it out to defrost 30 mins or so before I deep fry them again? Thanks! 🙂
Hey thought i would make this and when i did make it the outside part came out perfect but the inside it was wet batter what have i done wrong?
cook for longer, check your oil temp is not too high
Hi Ann! I made these a while ago and my mom loves them. Thanks! 🙂
awesome thanks for sharing Izi
Hi, Ann,
I tried your churros recipe but the batter turned out too soft and sticky. Why is that?
Hi
I want to make thus for quests coming over
How long in advance can I pipe them and have them waiting before baking? Will it change the texture if not baked straight away?
Hi Nes you can pipe them a few hours before and leave in the fridge
can you use margarine instead of butter?
How many curly churros dose this recipe make?
how many do the curly churros make for a regular size
Hi Ann, are you using regular butter or unsalted butter for this recipe?
hi john unsalted
hello,
Anna is their a substitution for the cooking oil for the baked churros. !!!!!!
Hi selena, you can leave it off, the churros have butter in them so will still crisp up without it.
Hi Ann,
You are an inspiration!
A quick question, would you know how many grams of butter you used. I find it tricky to do butter in cups measurement.
Thanks
Hi Luvena 1/2 cup = 125g of butter
Hi Ann,
how would you make half this recipe?
Hi Raeesa, I wouldn’t halve it because you’d need half an egg, try making 2/3 of the recipe instead.
hi Ann, if i made the churros can i put them in the fridge and have a way to heat them up again? or do you have to serve them straight away because im making them but the guests wont be over for a while and i want them prepared so please help me!
Hi Isabella, I would pipe them onto trays and bake them once guest are there so they are hot and delicious
Hello Ann, they were lovely, thanks for the recipe.
I am fairly young and I love to cook, sweets and treats and I have been inspired by most everything I’ve watched on your channel.
How many grams are in a cup???
Hi Mei there is 250ml in a cup, the grams depends on what you are measuring
My churros…. 🙂
Yum! I have always wanted to try these, but the deep frying has always put me off. I’ll have to figure a way to make them gluten free too.
Thanks for so much detail xRx
Hi Rachel, let me know how they go with gf flour.
How many churros does this recipe make?
Hi Kathie approx 25 of the straight ones
Can I use raw sugar?
hi nelly you’d have to give it a try the advantage of the finer sugar is it dissolves when you are mixing it.
