1-1/4 cup Water

1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, Cut Into Small Pieces
1 cup Plus 2 Tablespoons, All-purpose Flour

1
Heat water, salt, sugar, and butter in a saucepan. Meanwhile, sift flour in a bowl. When water reaches a rolling boil, stir in flour and keep stirring until you get a dough. Transfer dough to a bowl. Wait for a minute until it's not hot anymore.
2
Beat eggs and stir into the dough. Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a star nozzle.
3
Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 360u00b0F. Squeeze the strips of the dough into the oil and fry, turning once, until golden. Drain on paper towels. Roll churros in a cinnamon and sugar mixture. Continue with all the remaining dough.
4
To prepare the hot chocolate for dipping, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 cup of the milk. Set aside. Heat the remaining cup of the milk together with the chocolate in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until chocolate melts. Add cornstarch mixture and sugar and whisk well. Cook for couple minutes more, whisking continuously, until the mixture thickens.
5
Serve hot chocolate in a cup with some churros alongside. Dip and enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
