    • ½ tsp vanilla extract
    • 250g plain flour from a new bag (essential for absorbing the liquid)
    • 1 tsp baking powder about 1 litre sunflower oil
    • a few chunks of bread

    Method

    • Add the melted butter, vanilla extract and boiling water to the flour, baking powder and salt. Beat quickly until smooth, then leave the dough to rest for 10–15 minutes.
    • Prepare the chocolate dipping sauce by gently melting the ingredients together in a pan until smooth and glossy. Keep warm.
    • Fill the Hamilton Beach Deep Fat Fryer with oil according to the manufacturer's instructions and heat to the recommended temperature for deep frying. Mix the caster sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
    • Transfer the rested dough to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Carefully pipe 2–3 strips of dough into the Hamilton Beach Deep Fat Fryer, working in batches. Fry until golden brown and crisp.
    • Carefully remove the churros using a suitable utensil and drain on kitchen paper. Toss in the cinnamon sugar while warm and serve with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
