Notes

Tips and Tricks for the perfect churros

When using a deep fat fryer or a skillet pan filled with hot oil, take care not to splash the churros into the oil but instead carefully lower each one slowly and carefully. The basket in deep fryers is excellent for doing this safely. Remember it's better to be safe than sorry.

Use tongs to remove the churros from the oil as of course they are very hot.

I quite often make this chocolate dipping sauce to go with my churros recipe. To be honest, there’s nothing better than dipping warm sugary churros, or even donuts for that matter in a lovely warm chocolate dipping sauce.

Dipping Sauce Tips

This sauce thickens as it cools, so if you know that you won’t use it as a warm dipping sauce simply add about 30 – 40ml of milk so it stays more like a sauce rather than a spread. I had my dipping sauce out for a few hours and it was still lovely to use as a dip. I hate when it’s too runny and you end up getting everywhere. I’m such a messy eater, I’m probably worse than my kids.
