Chocolate con Churros
Of course, after my trip to Spain, I had to give you the recipe for churros! Easy to make and for a modest cost, you can enjoy it. At the same time, I put you my recipe for thick hot chocolate, the one in which we dip the churros to push the sin to the end…
Ingredients
- 150 g flour
- 180 g water
- a little salt!
- a pan of hot oil
The "Chocolate":
- 15 to 20 g cornstarch
- 50 g sugar
- 200 ml water
- 400 ml milk
- 120 g dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional)
Instructions
- Here are the ingredients for the churros. I think this is the cheapest dessert ever!
- Bring the water to a boil with a little salt.
- Pour over the flour all at once.
- Mix immediately with a lot of elbow grease. It's ready!
- Here is the long awaited object! The Churro machine. From the brand... Bernar (without the "d" and I'm not kidding!).
- Put all the dough in the machine.
- Start screwing and the dough comes out by itself. When the oil is hot, make churros of the desired size and cut them with a knife. Before cutting, I unscrew a little, just to release the pressure so that the dough does not come out too much.
- When the underside begins to brown, turn them over.
- Here we see a giant churro!
- When they are cooked, put them on a paper towel. Ready to be devoured... Just sprinkle a little sugar on top.
- If we want to pad our hips a little more, we can do a "chocolate". Put the cornstarch and sugar in a saucepan. Add a little water to dissolve the cornstarch.
- Then add the remaining water and milk. You can add instant coffee for a full-bodied chocolate!
- Put on low heat and bring to a boil.
- The mixture will thicken. It's time to add the chocolate! I had chocolate shavings that I had made for the "black forest", but you can use chocolate cut into small pieces.
- Boil for 5 minutes.
- Let cool for 15 minutes, mix well with a whisk and serve in cups. Dip the churros in it with relish!

Sopaipillas from Chile
Sopaipillas are very well known in South America. But especially in Chile, where they are made with pumpkin. They are small fritters made with this vegetable and they are eaten sweet or with a tomato and onion salad very common in Latin America. Very simple to make, the sopaipillas will bring color and originality to your appetizers, or if you want to do like the Chileans, to your breakfasts, and throughout the day! I propose you here the salted version, with the recipe of the salad with tomatoes, onions and coriander.
Ingredients
Solpaipillas
SIde salad:
- 500 g tomatoes
- 300 g onions
- 1 bunch coriander
- 3 tablespoons oil (not olive!)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- chili or tabasco
- salt
- frying oil
Instructions
- Start by preparing the side salad, in case you choose to eat the sopaipillas in a "savory version".
- Cut tomatoes into small cubes.
- Cut the onions in the same way. Chop the bunch of coriander.
- Put everything in a container. Add vinegar and oil.
- Add salt and chopped chili or Tabasco.
- Set salad aside in a cool place.
- Prepare the pumpkin.
- Remove the skin and cut the pumpkin into pieces. Weigh the pumpkin without the skin!
- Put in the oven at 190°C for a good hour, the time to cook the pumpkin well.
- It should come out drier. If it caramelizes, it's even better!
- Put the cooked pumpkin in a blender and puree it.
- Put the purée in a container. Add oil.
- Add salt, sugar and baking powder.
- Mix and add the flour. Add it gradually until the dough almost doesn't stick to your fingers.
- Only the quality of the pumpkin will determine the quantity of flour to use.
- Let the dough rest in a cool place for an hour in plastic wrap.
- Remove the dough from the pan and roll it out on a floured work surface.
- Cut out shapes. Sopaipillas are generally round and sometimes fluted. That's why I use a caneles mold as a cookie cutter.
- Make a hole with a knife blade in the middle to stick to the tradition! Otherwise, you can forget about this step!
- Prepare a pan filled with oil ready for frying. Fry the sopaipillas. They are cooked when they come to the surface!
- Take them out of the frying pan and let them cool slightly on a paper towel. Enjoy as is or with the tomato and onion salad!
