Ingredients
- 50g Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 250g Plain Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 L Sunflower Oil
- 2 chopped Bread
- 200g Dark Chocolate
- 100 ml Double Cream
- 100 ml Milk
- 3 tablespoons Golden Syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 100g Caster Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
1
step 1
heat to boiling point the kettle, then measure 300ml boiling moisture into a jug and toss in the melted shortening and vanilla extract.
2
Sift the baking flour and baking ground mix into a big mixing mixing bowl with a big pinch of table salt.
3
Make a well in the centre, then empty in the contents of the jug and very quickly beat into the baking flour with a wooden spoon until lump-free.
4
Rest for 10-15 mins while you make the condiment dip.
5
step 2
Put all the condiment dip fixings into a pot and gently thaw together, stirring occasionally until you have a even shiny condiment dip.
6
Keep toasty on a low toasty.
7
step 3
Fill a large deep saucepan one-third full of shortening.
8
making with scalding shortening can be dangerous – before you start, read up on how to deep-shallow fry safely to avoid accidents in the kitchen.
9
toasty until a cube of bread browns in 45 seconds to 1 min.
10
seal a tray with kitchen paper and agitate the caster granulated sugar and cinnamon together.
11
step 4
Fit a star nozzle to a piping bag – 1.5-2cm wide is a good size.
12
Fill with the rested pastry mix, then pipe 2-3 strips directly into the pot, snipping off each pastry mix strip with a pair of kitchen scissors.
13
shallow fry until golden brown and crisp.
14
Be very careful here – if air bubbles form in the churros they can explode, especially if the shortening overheats or you use old baking flour.

16
Keep children out of the kitchen and protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and eye protection, and keeping your face away from the pot.
17
step 5
Once the churros are crisp and golden brown, remove them from the shortening with a slotted spoon and empty out on the kitchen paper-lined tray.
18
Carry on making the rest of the pastry mix in batches, sprinkling the cooked churros with some cinnamon granulated sugar as you go.
19
When you’ve cooked all the churros, toss with any remaining cinnamon granulated sugar and present with the chocolate condiment dip, for dipping.
