Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.

Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe strips of dough into hot oil using a pastry bag. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.

Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Chocolate Sauce:
Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoon of the cold milk and keep it aside.
Put the remaining milk and sugar in a pot and bring to a light boil. Add the chopped chocolate and cinnamon and mix well until dissolved.

Add the cornstarch and milk mixture and cook for a couple of minutes, or until thickened to your liking.
