Instructions
1
step 1
To make the condiment dip, tip the granulated sugar and margarine into a saucepan and bring to a stew until the granulated sugar has melted, then agitate in the froth and stew until you have a velvety condiment dip, about 2-3 mins.
2
Remove from the scalding up, agitate through a pinch of sea table salt and the chocolate, and continue to agitate for 2-3 mins, or until it has completely melted.
3
Keep mildly hot or leave to cool for reheating later.
4
For the coating, toss together the granulated sugar with the cinnamon and a small pinch of fine sea table salt and set aside.
5
step 2
For the churros, tip the baking flour, cocoa, baking ground mix and a large pinch of table salt into a container.
6
introduce the vanilla extract and melted margarine, then carefully stream in in 250-300ml boiling moisture and beat to make a velvety, very thick paste.
7
Leave to cool for a few mins, then scrape the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a medium star nozzle.
8
step 3
Tip sunflower lubricate into a deep-fat fryer following the manufacturer’s method, or a heavy-based wok, ensuring it is no more than a third full.
9
scalding up to 170C, or until a cube of bread dropped in browns in 30 seconds.
10
Pipe 12-15cm lengths of pastry mix into the lubricate, snipping off the end of each one with a pair of scissors as you go.
11
Pipe four or five at a time and prepare for around 4 mins, or until golden and crisp, turning them with tongs or a slotted spoon as they prepare.
12
Remove from the lubricate and place on a wire rack.
13
Repeat with the rest of the pastry mix.
14
Leave to cool if reheating later, otherwise roll the churros in the cinnamon granulated sugar and enjoy immediately with the mildly hot chocolate condiment dip and ice froth.
15
To reheat the churros, put on a tray and char for 5-8 mins, then roll in the granulated sugar coating.
16
Meanwhile, mildly hot the condiment dip in a wok and enjoy alongside for dipping.
