Preparation

1. Heat the water, butter, salt, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts.

4. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan to 180°C (350°F).
5. Pour the dough into a pastry bag with a curly nozzle and form strips of churros, frying them until golden and crispy.
6. Drain on absorbent paper.
7. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a deep plate and immediately coat the churros.
8. For the chocolate sauce, heat the milk with the sugar and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
9. Remove from heat and add the chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
10. Serve the churros hot with the hot chocolate sauce.
