Chocolate con Churros

Steps

1. Bring water and salt to a boil.
2. Turn off the heat and stir in the flour mixed with sugar, mixing vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms that separates easily from the pan sides.
3. Let the dough cool.
4. Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.
5. Transfer the dough to a churrera or a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
6. Pipe sticks about 5 inches (12 cm) long directly into the hot oil, frying only a few at a time to prevent sticking.
7. Turn the churros with a slotted spoon as they cook, and once golden brown, remove and drain on paper towels.
8. Sprinkle with sugar, or leave plain for dipping in hot chocolate.
9. In a saucepan, whisk the cornstarch into a small amount of milk until smooth.
10. Add the remaining milk and chocolate to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate melts and the mixture thickens into a smooth hot chocolate.
11. Serve the hot chocolate warm alongside the churros for dipping.
