Golden with Dark Dip
Recipe by Chef Heart Cadiente

Golden Churros
1 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup MAYA All Purpose Flour
2 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Sugar
½ cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
Pinch of nutmeg

1. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, butter and salt. Bring to a boil.
2. Turn off heat and immediately stir in the flour until a dough forms.
3. Allow dough to cool slightly, then beat in the egg one at a time until smooth and glossy.
Lastly, stir in vanilla. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
4. Heat oil in a frying pan or deep pan to 175°C (350°F). Make sure oil is about 1-2 inches deep.
5. Pipe 4–6 inch strips into the oil, using scissors to cut the dough.
7. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes. Set churros on a plate or colander
lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
8. Combine sugar, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg in a bowl.
9. Toss churros in cinnamon sugar while still warm.

COOKING TIP: If using a plastic piping bag, use two bags to ensure that it does not burst. The dough is thick and heavy and will require a strong but gentle pressure when piping.

Dip
½ cup dark chocolate chips or pieces
1 ¼ cups all-purpose cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt

In a sauce pan, combine dark chocolate, all-purpose cream and butter. Heat until chocolate is completely melted then add vanilla and salt. Serve churros with dark chocolate dip.
