• Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Add your flour, salt and sugar in a separate bowl and set aside. 
• Place your water, milk, butter and vanilla in small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Grab a wooden spoon in the meantime.
• Once boiling, add your flour mixture and stir with the spoon until mixture comes together in a ball. This should only take 10 seconds or so. Do not over mix!
• Turn OFF heat and add your egg. Mix quickly until egg is combined with the dough. Set aside.
• Once dough has slightly cooled, add it to a piping bag with a star tip or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
• Pipe churros onto a greased baking sheet in little 'logs" about 2" long. (See photos above.) They will not expand so you do not need to leave much room in between them.
• *To get clean edges, press the tip of the bag down onto your sheet pan and drag the bag along the pan to "cut" your logs.
• Bake on an upper rack in your oven for about 15 minutes or until inside is JUST cooked through. NOTE* Your churros will brown on the bottom.
• While baking, combine your cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl.

  Toss in your churros right when they come out of the oven! The sugar will not stick if you wait too long. Serve with chocolate sauce on the side.

Dark Chocolate Sauce

• Add milk and chocolate chips to a heat-proof bowl or mug and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir until chocolate is fully melted and smooth. If it needs more time, pop in the microwave for another 10 seconds. Serve warm.
