1 šolja vode
1/2 šlje putera

 Uklonite testo sa šporeta i, dok stalno mešate, postepeno dodajte jaja u testo.

Da napravite čokoladu za umakanje: U maloj posudi umesajte gustin u 1 šolju mlijeka i rezervi. Kombinujte čokoladu sa preostalom čašom mleka u sudu. Neprekidno mešajte, na niskoj temperaturi.Sipajate šećer i rastvoreni gustin u topljenu mešavini čokolade. Smanjitetemperaturu na nisko i kuvajte, stalno mesajuci  dok se čokolada ne zgusne, oko 5 minuta. (Dodajte dodatni gustin ako se ne počne gustiti posle 5 minuta.) Uklonite posudu sa sporeta sipajte u posudu i ostavite na toplom mestu.

Zagrejte oko 2 prsta ulja uposudi sa debljim dnom, na srednjoj temperaturi sve dok ulje ne dostigne180 stepeni C.

Ako imate presu za tulumbe onda u nju stavljajte testo i vadite churros . Ne pretrpajte posudu u kojoj pržite. Ako nemate možete koristiti i onu kesu za dekorisanje sa malo širim vrhom.
 Pecite dva minuta pa ih okrenite.

Ostavite na kuhinjskom papiru da se ocedi suvšsno ulje,  pa ih služite posute cimetom i šećerom, umakane u čokoladu. Kako ko voli

Churros

I am sure lot of you have tried this Spanish delicacy, It is very easy to do at  home just follow the recipe to the word:)

I recently got this nice press from my dear friend Gvozdena Zivkovic and in my home country, it is mainly used to make tulumbe similar look as churros, only somewhat shorter and wider and drenched in sugar/lemon syrup.

I will make those soon too.



Ingredients

Churros:

1 cup water

1/2 cup butter 

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

3 eggs, beaten

Vegetable oil, for frying

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional

Chocolate for dunking:

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 cups milk

4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

1/4 cup sugar

Create

To make the churro dough: Combine 1 cup of water with the butter and the salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour. Reduce the heat to low and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute. Remove the dough from the heat and, while stirring constantly, gradually beat the eggs into the dough.

To make the chocolate for dunking: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 cup of milk and reserve. Combine the chocolate with the remaining cup of milk in a saucepan. Stirring constantly, melt the chocolate over medium-low heat. Whisk the sugar and the dissolved cornstarch into the melted chocolate mixture. Reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking constantly, until the chocolate is thickened, about 5 minutes. (Add extra cornstarch if it doesn't start to thicken after 5 minutes.) Remove the pan from the heat and whisk until smooth then reserve in a warm place.

Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy, high-sided pot over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 360 degrees F. Mix the sugar with the cinnamon on a plate and reserve.

Meanwhile, spoon the churro dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Squeeze a 4- inch strip of dough into the hot oil. Repeat, frying 3 or 4 strips at a time. Fry the churros, turning them once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked churros to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

When the churros are just cool enough to handle, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar (in Spain churros are simply rolled in sugar.)

Pour the chocolate into individual bowls or cups. Serve the warm churros with the chocolate dip.
