donut sticks

Try a fresh spin on doughnuts by piping them Spanish-style and serving with a thick and indulgent dark chocolate sauce.

Churros with chocolate dipping sauce

butter,melted

vanilla extract

plain flour,from a new bag (essential for absorbing the liquid)

tsp baking powder

litre sunflower oil

bread

dark chocolate,not too bitter,

milliliters double cream

whole milk

golden syrup

vanilla extract,if you have some

caster sugar

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. Cooking with hot oil can be dangerous – before you start, read up on <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-deep-fry-safely">how to deep-fry safely</a> to avoid accidents in the kitchen. 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. Cooking with hot oil can be dangerous – before you start, read up on <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-deep-fry-safely">how to deep-fry safely</a> to avoid accidents in the kitchen. Keep children out of the kitchen and protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and eye protection, and keeping your face away from the pan.

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.

Donut Sticks

(350 g) cake flour

baking powder

salt

nutmeg

(½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, (room temperature)

(133 g) granulated sugar

egg, (room temperature)

(57.5 g) sour cream

½ cup (122.5 g) buttermilk

(872 g) canola oil, (for frying)

confectioners' sugar

corn syrup

Line one baking sheet with paper towel. Line a second baking sheet with a wire rack.

Set out two large baking sheets. Line one with paper towels and the other with a wire rack. Set aside.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and sour cream.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Add the egg and sour cream and continue mixing until combined.

Alternate adding flour and buttermilk.

Slowly alternate adding a small amount of the flour mixture and a small amount of the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Fold the dough into flour.

Fold the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently fold the dough several times to coat it in flour.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle and slice into 12 sections.

Roll out the dough into an 8x12-inch rectangle. Using a pizza cutter, slice it into 12 sections, each about 2 inches by 4 inches. Cut slits on the tops of each dough section.

Heat oil.

In a deep frying pot over medium heat, add 4 cups of oil. Heat the oil to 370°F. While the oil is heating, prepare the glaze.

Prepare the glaze.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, salt, and ¼ cup milk. Whisk together until smooth, adding more milk (if needed) to reach your desired consistency. Set aside.

Glaze

Fry donut sticks and place on paper towel-lined baking sheet.

Once the oil is hot, use a slotted spoon to carefully add 2-3 donut sticks to the oil. Cook for about 2 minutes, flipping halfway through until the donut sticks are golden brown on all sides. Remove the cooked donut sticks from the oil and place them on the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain slightly.

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining donut sticks, being careful to check the oil temperature as you go.

Dip donut sticks in glaze and place on wire rack.

Dip the slightly cooled donut sticks into the glaze and place them on the wire rack-lined baking sheet. (You can use a fork to hold the donut stick, dipping it fully into the glaze and then lifting it out, allowing any excess glaze to drip off before placing it on the wire rack.)

Serve.
