Step 1

Preheat fryer to 170°C.

Step 2

Measure all of the chocolate sauce ingredients into a saucepan and heat very slowly until melted and smooth…. over a pan or in a microwave. Keep warm whilst making the churros.

Step 3

Sieve both flours and salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre.

Step 4

Whisk the olive oil and boiling water together and slowly pour into the well, beating furiously so that there are no lumps but you have a thick paste.

Step 5

Scoop all of the batter into a piping bag with a star nozzle and then pipe strips carefully into the hot oil to fry. Keep the nozzle close to the oil and snip off the batter with a pair of scissors when they are long enough.

Step 6

Squeeze enough into the pan to make a few at a time and fry them for 3 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7

Lift them out of the oil and drain on paper towels before rolling in the sugar whilst still hot.

Step 8

Serve in a cone, drizzled with the chocolate sauce. Makes 12
