They are golden, coated with crunchy sugar and cinnamon mixture, and are simply addictive.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">I like to serve them with a bit spicy chocolate sauce that is super-easy to make, and adds a little ting in every bite. But if you don\u2019t like spicy food you can definitely omit the chili and get a cinnamon scented chocolate sauce that is simply perfect for dipping anything, in fact.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lilcookie.com\/category\/holidays-and-events-en\/hannukkah\/\">Looking for more recipes for Hanukkah?

The dough will look as if it is falling apart, but it quickly returns to its optimal state.<\/li>\n<li>Continue to add the eggs gradually until the mixture is flexible and ready.

It is important not to overload the frying pan so that the oil temperature does not drop. 4-5 churros at a time is just fine.<\/li>\n<li>After turning golden-brown on both sides take the churros out of the pan and place on a paper bag to absorb excess oil.<\/li>\n<li>Mix sugar with a little cinnamon, and roll the warm churros in the sugar mixture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Chocolate sauce:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>In a small pot, put cream, chili and cinnamon and heat to the boil.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the boiling cream mixture on the chocolate, wait about a minute, and whisk well until a uniform, shiny sauce is created.<\/li>\n<li>Serve the hot churros with chocolate sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-notes\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">The churros are at their best on the day of preparation, and as close to frying as possible.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">You can also serve them with Dulce de Leche.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-meta\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--End WPRM Recipe--><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23241\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23241\" class=\"wp-image-23241\" title=\"Churros with Chocolate Sauce\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oogio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2011\/12\/churros4-s.jpg\" alt=\"Churros with Chocolate Sauce\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Levin<\/p><\/div>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since I visited Barcelona for the first time \u2013 I got addicted to churros.
