Ingredients: 1/2 cup milk; 1/2 cup water; 90 gram butter, chopped; 1 cup plain flour, sifted; 1 egg, lightly beaten; 50 gram dark chocolate, grated; vegetable oil for deep frying; 1/2 cup caster sugar; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

90 gram butter, chopped

1 cup plain flour, sifted

1 egg, lightly beaten

50 gram dark chocolate, grated

vegetable oil for deep frying

1/2 cup caster sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method

1.Combine milk, water and butter in a medium saucepan. Heat on low until butter melts, then bring to the boil.

2.Add flour to pan all at once and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture comes away from the sides of the pan. Set aside to cool slightly.

3.Add egg, beating until well combined. Beat in chocolate.

4.Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan on high, until a little dough sizzles immediately when it is added. Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a medium (1.5cm) star nozzle.

5.Carefully pipe the dough, in 3cm strips, into the oil in batches – do not overcrowd the pan. Turn heat down. Deep-fry for 2-3 minutes, turning, until golden brown and cooked through – oil must not be too hot. Drain on paper towel.

6.Combine the caster sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Toss hot churros in the sugar mixture. Serve with coffee.
