AIRSON AN T-SIÙCAR CAINNEIL

100g siùcar castair
2 spàinn-bheag cainneal

• Goil an coire agus tomhas 300ml uisge goileach ann an siuga. Cuir an t-ìm agus a’ bhrìgh faoineig ris. Sìoltaich am flùr agus am pùdar-bèicearachd ann am bobhla measgachaidh mòr le bloigh mòr salainn. Dèan tobar sa mheadhan agus dòirt na tha san t-siuga dhan bhobhla agus measgaich an dà chuid gu luath gus nach eil cnapan idir ann.

FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR

100g caster sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

• Boil the kettle, then measure 300ml boiling water into a jug and add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Sift the flour and baking powder into a big mixing bowl with a big pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, then pour in the contents of the jug and very quickly beat into the flour with a wooden spoon until lump-free. Rest for 10-15 mins while you make the sauce.
• Put all the sauce ingredients into a pan and gently melt together, stirring occasionally until you have a smooth shiny sauce. Keep warm on a low heat.
• Fill a large deep saucepan one-third full of oil. Heat until a cube of bread browns in 45 seconds to 1 min. Cover a tray with kitchen paper and mix the caster sugar and cinnamon together.
• Fit a star nozzle to a piping bag – 1.5-2cm wide is a good size. Fill with the rested dough, then pipe 2-3 strips directly into the pan, snipping off each dough strip with a pair of kitchen scissors. Fry until golden brown and crisp. Be very careful here – if air bubbles form in the churros they can explode, especially if the oil overheats or you use old flour.
• Once the churros are crisp and golden brown, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on the kitchen paper-lined tray. Carry on cooking the rest of the dough in batches, sprinkling the cooked churros with some cinnamon sugar as you go. When you’ve cooked all the churros, toss with any remaining cinnamon sugar and serve with the chocolate sauce, for dipping.
