Chocolate Hazelnut Stuffed Churros

INGREDIENTS

1 cup water

2 teaspoons sugar, plus a pinch to sprinkle on the churros

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 cup of flour

2 eggs

Cinnamon

Chocolate hazelnut spread

Oil for frying

PREPARATION

1. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar and canola oil. Bring to a boil then remove from heat.

2. Add the flour and stir vigorously until mixture forms a smooth paste. (Make sure you beat out all bubbles.)

3. Add the eggs and stir until mixture becomes smooth.

4. Spoon the dough into a piping bag with a star-shaped tip. (really push the mixture down in the bag to eliminate air bubbles!)

5. Pipe strips onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in freezer for 45 minutes.

6. Heat oil in a large pot to 350˚F/180˚F.

7. Fry the churros until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.

8. Using a straw, poke a hole through each churro to create room for the filling.

9. Immediately sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon and sugar.

10. Spoon chocolate hazelnut spread into a piping bag, then pipe filling into churros.

11. Bon appétit !
