Churros
Recipe courtesy Michelle Bernstein

Ingredients
Vegetable or olive oil, for frying
1 cup water
4 ounces butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all purpose flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Chocolate Dunking Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Prepare to fry the churros by heating 1 to 1 1/2
inches oil in a deep pan to 360 degrees F.

To make churro dough, heat water, butter and salt to rolling boil in 3-quart
saucepan; stir in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball,
about 1 minute; remove from the heat. Beat eggs all at once; continue beating
until smooth and then add to saucepan while stirring mixture.

Spoon mixture into a piping tube with large star tip. Squeeze 4-inch strips of
dough into hot oil. Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning once,
about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Mix the sugar and cinnamon.
Roll churros in the cinnamon sugar. Serve with Chocolate Dunking Sauce.

Ingredients

Chocolate Dunking Sauce:
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup milk, plus 1 cup
1 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons sugar

Directions
Place the chocolate and half of the milk in a pan and
heat on low. When the chocolate has melted, dissolve the cornstarch in the
remaining milk and whisk into the chocolate with the sugar. Cook on low heat,
whisking constantly, until the chocolate is thickened, about 5 minutes. Add extra
cornstarch if it does not start to thicken after 5 minutes. Remove and whisk
smooth.

Pour and serve in cups for dipping churros.
