Menz FruChoc Churros

Method

• Step 1

  In a medium saucepan add the water, butter, brown sugar, and salt, and heat until it just boils.
  Remove from the heat and add the flour.
  Place in a large bowl to cool slightly (about 5 minutes).

• Step 2

  In a separate bowl, add the eggs to the flour mixture a little bit at a time.
  At this stage you will need patience as the mixture takes a bit to come back together.
  It will appear unmixed but don’t give up! It will need a bit of elbow grease.
  Once it comes together, repeat adding egg mixture until it is all mixed in and well blended.
  Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, before placing in your piping bag.  

• Step 3

  While that is cooling, in a medium to large pot heat the vegetable oil (must be very hot).
  While that is heating, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon in a large flat dish.
  Now you can fill your piping bag with the churros mixture.

• Step 4

  Test your oil by placing a small amount of dough mixture into the pot.
  The dough should bubble up straightaway, if it does, your oil is ready. 

• Step 5

  Squeeze some dough into the oil about 3 inches long and at the tip of the piping tool cut away dough with a butter knife.  
  You should be able to cook 5 at a time.
  Ensure you turn the churros around in oil to cook evenly and once they are golden brown, remove from oil and place on paper towel for a few seconds.

• Step 6

  Transfer them into your large flat dish and coat in the sugar dust.

• Step 7

  Chop up Menz FruChocs and set aside.  

• Step 8

  Melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water or alternatively, in the microwave in 30 sec bursts until melted. 

• Step 9

  Add the Menz FruChocs and serve with your warm Churros.
