Instructions

  1. 1
    Heat water, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan until butter melts and mixture boils.
  2. 2
    Remove from heat and add flour all at once. Stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  3. 3
    Let cool slightly, then beat in eggs one at a time and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
  4. 4
    Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  5. 5
    Heat oil to 190°C (375°F). Pipe 15cm lengths of dough directly into the oil, cutting with scissors. Fry in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until deep golden brown.
  6. 6
    Drain on paper towels, then immediately roll in cinnamon sugar.
  7. 7
    For the sauce: heat cream until simmering, pour over chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth. Add cinnamon and cayenne. Serve churros warm with chocolate sauce for dipping.
