125g plain flour
75g caster sugar
100g butter
500mL water
3 eggs
Zest of an orange
300g dark chocolate

Cinnamon Sugar:

1 cup white sugar, or to taste

Melt butter and add to water in a saucepan. Mix in flour, sugar and orange zest with a wooden spoon over a low heat.

Allow mixture to cool down for five minutes and then add eggs one by one.

Cook mixture over a low heat, stirring until a smooth consistency.

Put mixture into a piping bag. Pipe churros (7cm-10cm long) onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.

Place churros in the fridge to harden.

Melt chocolate in a bowl over boiling water until smooth.

Deep fry churros for 3-5 minutes, roll in sugar and cinnamon, serve with melted chocolate on the side.
