Instructions

Step 1: In a saucepan, bring 1 cup water, 3 tbsp unsalted butter, and 1/4 tsp salt to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup all-purpose flour until a ball forms. Cool slightly, then beat in 2 eggs one at a time until smooth.
Step 2: Heat oil to 375°F in a deep fryer or pot. Pipe 2-inch logs of dough into oil using a star tip, frying in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3: Mix 4 oz melted dark chocolate with 1/4 cup heavy cream until smooth. Roll hot churros in 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon. Serve warm with chocolate sauce for dipping.
