Churros con Chocolate
Description
I don't really have a big sweet tooth before, until I fell in love with cupcake designs and by watching "Cake Boss". But I wasn't in the mood to "bake". Moreover, my sister slept over at my place; and so, since she's bugging me to bake or cook something with her, making some classic churros will be just perfect.

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cup Bread Flour
1/4 tsp salt
4 eggs
For the chocolate dip
200 g dark/semi sweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
2 tbs Cornstarch
1/4 - 1/2 cup Sugar
Preparation
* Make the churros. Place water and butter in a saucepan and allow to boil. Lower the head and add the bread flour and salt. Stir until the dough forms into a ball
* Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix with a whisk until there is no more steam. Add eggs one at a time, whisking to incorporate.
* You have two options in cooking your churros. You may pipe onto a greaseproof paper or silicone mat and freeze for at least 2 hours, or you may directly pipe the mixture unto the pan to fry. We did a batch of frozen churros, and also directly piped into the pan. Fry in hot oil until golden. Drain in kitchen towels. You may dust your churros with some icing sugar, or plain white sugar, or some cinnamon powder.
* Make the chocolate dip. Melt semisweet chocolate in a double boiler or in a medium saucepan in low to medium heat. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk. Note: Dilute the cornstarch in milk to prevent lumps.
Cook the chocolate dip until it becomes thick, velvety, and smooth.
* Now your ready to dunk your churros into that hot chocolate!!!
