Recipes:

  1. Churros Recipe - One of my favorite recipes 🙂

  2. Chocolate Sauce (below)


Easy Chocolate Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

1 cup chocolate pieces
1 cup milk (dairy free works fine too)
Salt to taste

Directions:
In a medium sized bowl, microwave 1 cup chocolate pieces and 1 cup milk (dairy free works fine too) for 30 second increments whisking thoroughly in between heating. Then stir in some salt to taste. If you like, you can even add a dash cinnamon, nutmeg, chili powder or vanilla. 


Frying Doughnuts - Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Follow the recipe carefully.

  • Oil Temperature: For optimal frying the oil needs to be between 360-375F (182-190C).

  • If your doughnuts come out oily the frying oil is likely too low. 

  • If you flip your doughnut over to cook the second side and it tries to flip back over to the first (cooked) side, this is probably because your churro was slightly overcooked on the first side. 

  • Make sure your oil is preheating before you mix the wet and dry ingredients together.
