Churros with Chilli Chocolate Sauce

Crispy on the outside, light and airy on the inside, freshly fried churros are a favourite treat in countries like Spain and Mexico. It is traditionally dipped in thick chocolate sauce, but we have spiced it up with a touch of chilli powder and bird-eye chilli! Here’s a secret that Spanish grandmothers will not share with you –churros are great for making ahead! Simply allow them to cool after frying and pop them as is in the refrigerator in an airtight container.When it’s time to have them, heat them up with an oven at 180 degrees until crisp!
