I pair this with a spicy salted chocolate dip. A hit every time!
Ingredients (Churros):
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
1 stick butter
1 cup each cinnamon and sugar
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the puff pastry in half width-wise and then into about 4 inch long rectangles. ( I ended up with about 20 per pastry sheet).
Lay the cut pastry on parchment paper and bake for 12 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately roll each pastry in the cmelted butter and then cinnamon sugar mixture.
Ingredients (Spicy Salted Chocolate Sauce)
12 ounces good quality milk chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tsp sea salt (to start)
Generous pinch of cayenne pepper
Directions:
Heat the chocolate in a heavy-bottomed pan until melted. Add the cream and stir until very smooth.
To the chocolate mixture, add the salt and cayenne to taste. I always end up adding a lot of salt, which people like because they don't expect it, but be very sure to add it slowly and taste as you go along so you don't make it too salty or spicy!
