Corn Cinnamon Churros with Chocolate Sauce
I love churros. Hot, crunchy on the outside, soft and yielding on the inside, cinnamon sugar, silky chocolate sauce. What is not to love? Home made churros are a step up from anything you can buy. Make sure you use corn meal as opposed to corn flour. The textures are very different. And I think from memory, a churros maker would be far superior to the method we used which involved a piping bag and a sprained wrist. Get your churros maker at good kitchen ware stores anywhere!

To deep fry churros heat enough oil to submerge dough to 180ºC. Using a piping bag with star nozzle or churros maker, shape 3-4 churros gently dropping them straight into the oil. Turn occasionally then remove once puffed and golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towel, then immediately coat in Cinnamon Sugar. Serve with Chocolate Sauce.
